Finally home!





Though we have been home a few days we have not gotten a chance to write on our blog again. It is so good to be home!
Mimi, Papa Paul, Uncle JB and the kids were at the airport to welcome us home! We were later than expected due to a flight schedule change, but we made it! Jailyn did better than mom on the flights! If I would have had to get on one more plane I think I would have cried!
Jailyn is settling in at home. She is still the princess and has everyones attention! Like we had anticipated she has Brady wrapped around her little pinky. He is her protector! Kinda cute!
Kenzie is loving having a baby sister to care and play with.
Conner is wonderful will Jailyn too. He was definetely glad to have mom home though! He has spent a lot of time sitting with me and playing with my hair!
Jailyn wasn't too happy with her car seat on the way home from the airport but has fallen asleep in it every car ride since. She is also getting used to her stroller, still would rather be held, but loves the stroller that faces the person pushing her. She feels much more secure! (and we love looking at her!)

Jailyn's personality is bursting at the seams! Every day she shows us more. She is so animated! She has been to two soccer games already and one karate class. We arrived home Wednesday evening and Thursday morning Kenzie and Conner were showing her off at school. Jailyn did great and met a lot of new people. :)

Jailyn had her first dr's appointment here. She weighed in at 16 lbs 11 oz. and 29 inches long. A very little girl!

I hope to load some pictures tomorrow our our homecoming!
Thank you for all of your interest and prayers for our adoption! Jailyn is truly a blessing to our family!

Love y'all!

I have so enjoyed reading about your adventures and had been checking daily to see if you finally did indeed get home. Yea! You made it.
Jailyn is a beautiful little girl and is blessed to be in your sweet family!

Thanks for your updates. You did a great job keeping record of your sojourn.

Blessings on you all as you rejoice over your newest family member!

I am so happy I get to see you tomorrow and meet Jailyn in person.

You are my beacon in the fog of international adoption.
