Home is totally where the heart is...

We are home! We love being home! We love our home! We love our home! There is no place like home!
After an amazing adventure we are settling into our new life. Lauryn is a blessing beyond measure.
The airport was great! We had many family and friends who travelled a great distance to celebrate with us. Lauryn was all smiles and had a great time meeting her new family! Thanks so much for being there! It made coming home that much more special.
Our first Saturday home, I got a call from a dear friend who told me to get the paper outside my door!?! I did and there was a message to look at page B5. There it was... Lauryn's adoption notice! Awww! I can't tell you how special that was! Thanks SOO much for everything. You guys are just amazing.
My parents had stocked our cupboards and fridge with every necessity and indulgence that we needed. I didn't sleep at all the first night.
Lauryn has visited with many friends and family and there is still so many more to meet. She is doing fantastic! Everyday we notice much more about her as she discovers the world around her.
Sorry it's taken so long to post, there has just been so many things to do!
I promise to be more diligent! LOL!
Nap time is coming to an end. Gotta run.
But first... Thanks to everyone for making our home coming special. Thanks to my parents who have gone above and beyond! Thanks to Kyle's mom for the cars are the airport... they were and still are a hit. Thanks to Kyle's sister Auntie K for dinner on Saturday... we missed Swiss chalet! thanks to Auntie S for putting the wine in the freezer. Thanks to Uncle T and Aunt J for driving our luggage home. Thanks to Auntie D and Auntie S for coming to the airport and hanging helping with the car seat lol! Thanks to cousin Claire and her parents for being extra helpful at the airport with Lauryn! Thanks to Auntie A and N for a nice home coming dinner and cousin Declan and Alister for the play date! Thanks to Auntie N and Uncle D and Mom for the birth notice. Thanks to Gramma for having the kleenex ready! Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes. Telephone calls and emails have been coming at a rapid pace. We love you all and are so happy to be sharing the home coming of our little angel with you.
We have another shower tomorrow in Burlington. Can't wait to introduce Lauryn to these fine friends who are more like family!
Such a wonderful feeling!
Also thanks to our travel group! We met some amazing people! Looking forward to catching up with them soon.
Keep Happy!

WELCOME HOME!!! I'm so glad to hear that you all are home safely, and that everything is going so well. I know that you are super busy (and probably very tired) right now, but I did want to say that I'm so glad you're home and safe and adjusting well!
