...and things are going great. The flight went pretty well considering that we had two kids on a plane for a total of 15 hours and a 5 hour layover. We made it to Nashville at 9:30 Saturday night. The kids were give out. We all but dragged them through the airport. Of course Bob and I were wide eyed and bushy tailed to be home! Oh, home!! Walking through the terminal, we started hearing the sounds of my sister-in-law crying. Next thing we knew, she was hugging us soooo hard, I don't really remember the rest. Next thing I know, we were in the car driving down I-40 drinking Mt. Dew!
How many dinos can you hang on your face??
The homecoming was amazing!! Mom had decorated the house for the kids. They absolutely love ballons! Neither Aizley or Colton could believe their new beds, the bags of clothes that were given to them, or all their toys. Oh, and the dogs were such a big hit.
We had a "welcome home" lunch Sunday. Everyone brought food (and toys) and the kids were absolutely in heaven. They did amazing! So far (fingers crossed) no upsets or tantrums. Aizley has won over the hearts of all the men in the family. She LOVES her "uncle Jer-wee"! Colton can't stop talking about his "titika Murphy".
Aizley and the guys.
We are doing wonderful. We have had some of our church friends bring us prepared meals and volunteer to help in any way. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. We made it HOME!!!
