Feeding baby brother

We decided Dylan needed a snuggle toy, we call them woobies, so he got two, one for each cheek. Thanks Aunt Jen for my Bumpo!

Dylans new passport and Citizenship!


I had a 2 hour window on Wednesday to get a flight home. Visas in hand at 4pm. cab to airport 5:30pm, then to Bangkok then to JFK, NY, and 26 hours later we landed on American soil! I only had time to send out emails to let everyone I would be home.
Chris my husband had to work so my buddy Chris D picked my sorry self and sweet happy kid up at the airport. My awesome friend and Dylans godmom was waiting at the house with the girls. I was happy inside to my core. Thes looked so sweet so beautiful, I love them with a pang in my heart. To see them with their brother was an answer to our prayers.
We rested, hung out, I took a fabulous shower, kiled the chin hair, while everyone played with Dylan. I took him to work where my friend Arnie checked him out and gave him a clean bill of health. We then went to babies are us where Jen spoled him some more. She bought him a bumpo seat and tray, a rear view mirror and lots of other cool stuff. Thank you Jenn, we love you.
Daddy was home at 6. THe good news is he has his son, and we re all fine, but sadly the home mortgage market sucks and he was just laid off today! What a day! HE left VN early to come back to work, go figure!
So in a nutshell that was our day. I kept the phone off because I really wanted to keep it low key, so I am sorry I didn't call everyone. I still feel like a 400 year old zombie. My back is screaming from carrying all the stuff and the cute kid. It is now 4am we have been up for 2 hours, had a meal, played and now here we still are! Bailey is curled up with us, I love that dog (who REALLY needs a bath).
Now life begins for real. Watching NY come into view from the airline window, I was telling Dylan about his family. "Dylan this is where we live. Today you are going to meet your sisters for the first time. They are going to love you and hold you and play with you all the time. Even when mommy is tired. They are never too busy to play, never bored of playing peekaboo. and can read the same bok over and over again. Their hearts are full of love..." This is when I became choked up, because I remember bringing each of them home. The story is always the same. Some of the charactors have changed. I know that I helped put the love in their hearts simply by loving them! This child completes our family gives us joy, has brought us all closer together. To watch the girls play with him marveling at every coo and smile brings their childhood flashing back to me. All the soft warm baby kisses, all sweetness and innocence...it all comes back. These kids are a product of their parents love for them, and they will pass it on. Emily, Claire and Dylan, mommy loves you, and always will, to the moom and back.
