We're back - and getting settled in!

I can't say much right now -- nap time is almost over -- but WAAA HOOO, We're home and loving (most) every minute of it all. Your prayers have been answered with a resounding, "Yes, I will bring them comfort, peace, and joy!" We are doing so well. I'm going to post a few pictures really quick -- and then will begin the backward posts to show you some more of what we saw.

A HUGE thanks to everyone who was able to join us and welcome us home in the most special way at the airport on Monday afternooon!! The posters, balloons, cameras and hugs were more than we could have ever imagined! But, arriving home to groceries, muffins, signs, posters, balloons, streamers... oh, wow! We are still playing with the balloons and the shiny star streamers may never come down!

Also, I want to make special mention of our family and friends who were able to make it (and to those who were snowed in and could not) to Texas this weekend. From the bounce house to the post roast to the cookies and last minute 'big boy' clothes... lip gloss, hugs, tears, gift cards and a thousand photos... we loved every minute of being 'back home' and your love helped make it perfect! Thank you!

Here's an eyefull of pics from Texas!
