What an amazing feeling it was to touch down in LAX and know that Anna is home for good. All the effort, all the paperwork, all the money, all the time and stress and worry......I can finally say it has all been worth it and I just couldn't be happier. The flight was of course long and tedious and Anna slept for about a grand total of 90 minutes maybe, the last 20 minutes was when the pilot annouced we would be landing, but it didn't go horrible and she was a trooper. I wouldn't have thought you could play so long with 2 barf bags and a few misc items.....put in one bag, take out of the other, repeat repeat repeat.
Steve surprised us with a limo to take us home. Wow did it feel good to stretch out and Anna was just taking it all in. She was really loving Madison. Of course I couldn't get enough of Dylan either.....boy did I MISS him!!!
So far Anna seems to be loving her new house, new room, new toys, and of course her new family. I'm trying not to overwhelm her, but I'm not sure how exactly you do that with other kids and their busy schedules waiting for you when you get home.
For the moment, we will just settle in, rest, try to keep her to some routine, and just get caught up with all the stuff that piled up while I was away, although Steve did amazingly well with everything while we were gone. I know it was hard for him too. I'll post some more pictures again in the next few days of our little strawberry cutie pie when I can.
