Home Sweet Homecoming

It is our second day back in T-Town and we are all doing our best to get our body clocks reset to standard time - Ugh! It could be a long week... Sarah did really well on our flights from VN. She napped from Hanoi to Tiawan and slept nearly the entire flight from Tiawan to San Fran. She was a little fussy and squirmy from San Fran to Dallas and during the desent she threw up on me (Heather). I was glad that I packed a spare shirt in my carry-on. We cleaned up, changed Sarah and boarded our final flight. Thankfully our last leg was only 45 minutes long.

We were greated by many family and friends and it was a WELCOME sight! (Thanks to all who were there - we understand that 8:15 Friday morning is not the most convenient time.) Sarah wasn't too sure what to make of the large crowd, so some tears were shed. But, it was just so wonderful to finally be home!

After a bottle and being reunited with Luke (another Ninh Thuan baby) she calmed down. She also enjoyed sharing cookies with Lucy (adopted from Korea through Dillon) and seemed to be calmed by her presence, as well.

Sarah was a real sweetheart when we got home and her grandparents got to see the giggly side of her. So far she is having a blast checking out her new home and getting aquainted with her dog, Rosie (an 87 lb lab). She and Rosie have already bonded - Sarah throws food on the floor and Rosie eats it *lol*.

Below is a slide show of our homecoming - enjoy!

Dear Sarah,
It is great having you home with us -- you make the room light up with you big smile. Now the fun can begin -- naturally the grandparents can spoil you and Mom and Dad can deal with the issues -- isn't that great!!

It will be terrific when you and Lauren can play together -- and natually Papa Roy and Grandma Barbara can join in on the fun.

Lots of Love
Papa Roy

I will be interseted in hearing how your lab does with Sarah. We have a 130lb. lab who has been our baby until now. He is 4 1/2. We are praying he will do great when our son comes home.
