We made it HOME!!!














Lila and I made it home Friday night about 6:45 PM it was such a relief to be back in the good old USA!! Scott, Jenny, Jake and Cade were waiting for us to get through customs. Right when I walked through the doors I saw Jake and we both ran through the swarms of people and my heart just melted when we hugged. It felt like home. Poor Cade tried to run but of course tripped over the luggage cart and ended up in tears when I finally got to him. Lila just watched with a little jealousy in her eyes but thankfully didn't cry. When we got home they all just had a good time. Jake had to show her around the house and her room he just talked and talked to her. He just loves her already. They walk around holding hands it is just adorable. Cade is a bit more reserved with his feelings I think he is a little hurt that he's not the baby anymore, but I know he will be ok he has played more with her today.Our friends, Jim and Kelly, came by with ballons and a beautiful figurine of an mother and child, just so thoughtful and sitting right on Lila's dresser.We were so touched! She has been home 2 days now and to celebrate we went to the Shenandoah River to hang out and cool off. I was a great day and Lila warmed up to the river quickly but ofcourse she thought she had to bathe in river so she was scrubbing her hair(and Jakes)and anyone who came into her reach. She is the cleanest 2 yr old I know! Overall she is doing better than I expected I can't imagine making the same adjustments she has been foreced to make. I could barley make it for 2 weeks in China without crying everyday and I understood what was going on! She's a great kid and smart as a whip she fits our family like a glove!
