Well, WE DID IT!!!! I wouldn't want to wish our flight home on anyone, but we lived through it. We almost didn't make the initial flight at all - our original court decree was packed in our checked luggage and all we had copies with us (we accidentally switched the contents of our two envelopes at the Embassy the day before, so our envelope marked "Originals" had copies in it. We were still duking it out with customs (or whoever it was) five minutes after the plane should have taken off. I was tired, stressed, the kids were tired and stressed, and they almost wouldn't let us go, and yet our original paperwork was on the plane in our luggage ready to fly to America without us. *Gulp*. Finally they just waived us through and we made a mad dash to the plane. I was in tears I was so stressed. Very soon after we got on the plane Aleksa was in tears. (That's a nice way to put it. She screamed almost all the way home).
Just wanted to write a quick "WE'RE HOME" message for everyone, but we'll fill everyone in with all the rest of the story later on. Today, we are enjoying our first day home as a family. Kids are running around, the girls are putting tons and tons of hair clips in, trying on their clothes, etc. and Adam is having fun playing with some of his new toys and crafty things. Uncle Jerry and Aunt Maxine left bags of art supplies for them, and they LOVE them sooooo much. They have been playing and playing this morning. Such a wonderful day! So, you see why I don't want to sit at my computer... I might miss something!!!! :O)
Love,
Shelly
