We made it home very late last night - to lots of love from a small group of
family and friends! 
The girls both did great with the nearly 24 hours of travel!  YaYa did not fuss even once on the plane!  A MIRACLE :)  She slept great during the normal hours of sleep, enjoyed the food and people, sang to everyone, and had fun with Lily:)
She fell asleep on the way home from the airport last night so went straight to bed and awoke to her new home bright and early around 3:30 am!  I had fun introducing her to her kitty and new home.  We have played and had breakfast and she is back in bed:)  I imagine it will take a while to get used to her new day/night schedule.  We are soaking it all in today - having all 4 of our children in the same home!!!  SO SO FUN!
So thankful for all of your prayers and support during our adoption - words cannot convey my overflowing heart right now.  We have such an amazing community - it is good to be HOME!

I will be recording our family stories on this page from now on --
