We're home!

We're home! It was so great to see Alex and to show Almaz around her new home.

Almaz did amazingly well on the flight home! She slept for the first five hours in the bassinet (pictured above) that attached to the bulkhead. The rest of the time traveling she took short catnaps but when she was awake she was super smiley and happy (pictured above!). We kept the bassinet attached even when she wasn't sleeping since it was a great place for her to play.

Alex was excited to meet his sister but it did take a little time to warm up to her. This picture was taken right before Almaz's bedtime. She seems to be a bit overwhelmed with Alex and all the activity around her. Alex was laying on our bed tonight and Almaz was sitting next to me on the bed and then she attacked his head and they both laughed. I think she'll get used to having a big brother very soon.

One very tired little girl.

Grant and I are still pretty wiped out too. Thankfully Grant's parents have been here and have been able to help out with Alex and around the house. Thanks for all your prayers while we have been traveling! It is so nice to be home!
