We're Back with Two More !!!



We are finally back, and most thrilled to be home. I just finished unpacking the last suitcase. We went with 6 pieces counting everything including carryons etc., and came home with 14 with all of the boys things and clothes. God worked in the most amazing ways on our journey including getting us ICPC approval within 24 hours of both states receiving the paperwork. God is so very amazing ! He worked on our hearts a long time to be sure we were physically, emotionally, and mentally in the right place at the right time and prepared. We are just beginning to get the house back in order. We got in very late Friday night on the 14th, early Saturday morning really. Then we slept and went to pick up our other two children, Michael and Gabriela, from my sister's. My sister and her husband were good to take care of them while we were gone. Our awesome new boys were such troopers, with the exception of some tears the last hour of the plane ride from being tired. They both were really really good helpers and stayed with us very well. I am so amazed at what good listeners they both are. I have started posting all of this to our blog and pictures so everyone can see what they look like. Tristan is 6 years old, special needs with FAS and a heart condition. Wyatt is 4 years old, and healthy but from a more disrupted beginnings. We are adopting them as the newest members of our family from a disrupted adoption here in the USA, and it has been so awesome ! Tristan and Wyatt are biological brothers born in Estonia, and they have been in the USA since August.
