Welcome Home - Liam! We made it home, Saturday around 10am. It was a very long journey. Both boys were troopers the whole way. Ben did amazingly well on the long flight - sleeping most of it. Liam didn't fair quite as well - but hung in there with us until the bitter end. Immigration was fairly smooth. Liam became a citizen around 9:30pm EST on Friday night. Connections were interesting - especially going from the international terminal to the domestic terminal in LA. At one point, Rob was pushing the luggage on a cart with Ben riding on his shoulders. I was holding Ben's hand so he didn't fall off while carrying Liam in his hammock and pulling a rolling bag. I am sure we made quite a site. We are so very thankful to have traveled with the Russell family. One of them was always grabbing a bag or a child for us. I am so glad I don't have to know what it would have been like to do it without them. It is just a long long trip and we so grateful to be home. Here are a few pictures of the homecoming. Thanks to all that made it to the airport - especially those that woke up their children just to come welcome us home. Thanks to everyone for the prayers. God has richly blessed us with two precious boys.
