WE'RE HOME! Don't get too excited, only Jeff, Matthew and I are home. We left Odessa saturday night by train, left Kiev Sunday morning on a plane and arrived home very early monday morning. We are glad to be home but miss the boys. Matthew was a fantastic traveler again, people on the planes kept telling us how good he was-even on the ten hour flight from Amsterdam to Minneapolis.
I have a sinus infection and am heading to the dr. later today, I need to be better so I can head back to Odessa next week and bring the boys home.

Wow! What a shock. I figured you were all staying until the 10 days were up. So is just one of you going back to get them? When do you get to bring them home?

I'm glad you're going to have a chance to rest a bit and prepare your home and life a bit before you jump full bore into parenting teenagers. Hope you get feeling better soon!

WooHoo! I am sooo excited for all of you!! I haven't commented on your blog for quite awhile but I have been following your journey every day. I've loved seeing all of your pictures and hearing the ups and downs of the Ukrainian adoption process. I about screamed when I saw that you are now officially a family of five. Congratulations and God Bless!

I'm glad you're taking this break. We did the same thing in the middle of Maddie's adoption. It made all the difference in the world. Use the next two weeks to rest up, relax and get ready for the boys.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
