We are home!! Oh it felt great to sleep in our comfy beds last night! Ds3 slept in a comfy pack n play next to the bed until he gets familiar with his own crib. It was a good thing to, as he woke up several times during the night. Just slightly enough to want to be reassured by our voices, and then back to sleep he went.
This morning he woke up a little earlier than we would have liked, so we pulled him into bed with us. So sweet, he slept a little longer between his mamma and papa. Thank you Lord!
We videotaped him walking down the hall and into his room for the first time. He was so excited! Under his changing table are some toys and he was so cute ooohhhing and ahhhing over them. We are purposefully keeping the playroom off limits for at least today, so it isn't completely overwhelming for him. There are a LOT of things in that playroom!
One thing we quickly became aware of... we are sooo not baby proofed yet! Just watching him walk down those stairs was enough to make me nervous! We'll be heading to Babies 'R Us today to get the good cabinet locks and another stair gate, plus a few more safety door features. If there is one thing about us is we certainly try to be baby safe!
He's eating his breakfast right now with daddy. Eggs, toast and perhaps a banana. Yum! Yum! Our friends gave us a toddler seat that is kind of on the go, and that should suffice for a few days! Really, the child is just so happy to eat his food!
So, it feels good to be home! Chris took off until Monday so that we could all get adjusted together. I am so grateful he did that! The next few days will be filled with our finding a new routine in our lives. I'm glad we have a little while all together to get adjusted. :-)
I'll try to download photos and maybe a video of him checking out his new room. Try being the operative word..... :-)
Later,
Jackie

Glad you made it home! I hope your plane rides were better than ours. Can't wait to talk to you soon!
So glad to hear that you are home. It sounds like you were able to get a good nights sleep. I look forward to seeing pictures and video when you have time to upload them to your blog.
So thankful that you will be home for the New Year!! Have a Happy and Blessed New Year!!
Welcome home! It sounds like he is doing great, and I hope you all have a smooth transition this week as you get settled into being a family of 5! Happy New Year!
Welcome home!!! The first week home was a complete blur to me... but a happy blur. And I had to replace a few cabinet locks that Lexi showed us were not working properly. ;0) She still hasn't seen our playroom yet either. Talk about over whelming, it stresses ME out. [note to self: donate toys to Goodwill!]
I hope you all get back on our time zone quickly! Enjoy!

Welcome home and Happy New Year!
I don't know if I've ever gotten to look at your blog until now. That is a shame. I can tell I've missed out on many blessings. I'm just going to have to go back and read this story as it unfolded. I love the 'Who Am I' song! What a pure heart attitude to have before our Heavenly Father. Your baby is adorable. He reminds me in many ways of Dima. Coloring, size, age at time of court, etc. What a blessing that you were able to bring him home while he was so young. Dmitry's trasition into our family has been so natural and hang up free. I attribute that first and foremost to the grace of God and also to how young he was when he came home. I am rejoicing with you in your homecoming today! Praising God for another dear child in a christian home. That is an amazing portrait of grace. In response to your questions on our blog, the girls played their concert with other students of their piano teacher. She works during the day as kitchen help at the senior center and so she arranged the event for us all. Lydia played 3 and Natalie played 4. Nat was the most experienced performer there. I think it was 'big fun' (as our piano teacher Natasha says in her Moldovan accent) for all the seniors and I know it was good expereince for the kids.
Anyway, welcome home. God bless you and you newly formed/expanded family. Enjoy those baby loves!
I am hooked on your adventure. How wonderful to be home!
Oh, Jackie!! I am just so excited for you!
I can't wait to see any pictures or videos.
Happy, Happy New Year!
Happy New Year and WELCOME HOME!!
