Coming Home

We are home! SJ travelled beautifully! She slept for long stretches on the long flights and was quite agreeable when awake. I, however, nearly jumped out of the plane on the Amsterdam to Detroit leg! The plane was full, my legs were sore, and the tiredness caught up with me. I whined and walked and stretched, and somehow made it.
For her homecoming, Super Daddy dressed SJ in her Ethiopian dress. Our superb friend Missy brought B to the airport to meet us and film the return. My son ran to me and I was overcome with joy to have our family complete. Missy even helped him make a sign, so cute. We slowly made our way down to baggage claim to meet the grandparents. SJ wowed the crowd with her beauty. She was a little overwhelmed and stayed with either Mom or Dad the whole time. SJ was a little upset when we were ready to leave, but got in to her car seat and giggled at her brother the whole way home.
Since we've been home, we've showed her the bedroom, given her a bath, watched a little TV and bonded with brother. So far, they find each other very funny!
I'm cuckoo with exhaustion, counting the minutes til the kids are in bed and I can collapse.
