HOME SWEET HOME

We made it home Wed. night - or Thursday morning in reality. We made it the house sometime after 1:00 a.m. Our flight out of Newark was delayed, which made a long day seem longer. But, it was a blessing too - our flight out of Beijing was delayed too so if the last flight was on time - I'm not sure we would have made it.

Hannah did as well on the planes as can be expected for a 2 year old flying so many hours. She did manage to sleep about 6 hours. We arrived at the Birmingham airport about 11:30 to be greeted by some wonderful friends. It was so special to see some of my closest friends meet Hannah for the first time.

Our time at home has been good, although sleep schedules are WAY off right now.
Hannah slept 7 hours Thursday, but it was between 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.!
Oh well, we'll work the sleep out slowly.

Hannah has her first doctor's visit Monday morning at the adoption clinic - so keep us in your prayers for that.

Hannah has adjusted to our home more easily than I could have hoped for. I can only be thankful to her foster family. They may have spoiled her a bit, but they also taught her so many good things. She knows how to play, she has obviously had some kind of consistent routine before and although it's not our routine, she understands that. Mostly she has definately been loved and she knows how to love in return. She wakes up each morning and crawls in my bed and gives me lots of kisses, high 5's, and beautiful smiles.

God has been so very good to us. I'll try to post some pictures of her at home soon.
Right now I have a toddler wanting my attention.
love, DeEtte
