WE'VE MADE IT!!!!

We finally made it home safe and sound. After about 30 hours of flying, layovers, customs, and more security checks then you can imagine we landed safely in Las Vegas at around 11:45pm onFriday night. Luke was a dream on the flights. He played with his toys on the first flight, and slept the whole time on the flight from Amsterdam to St. Paul, and played with toys and took a nap on the last flight to Vegas.

Landing home was pretty emotional for Stacey and I, we've been gone so long we didn't think we'd ever get back, and Luke became a citizen of the U.S. the second customs stamped his passport. We spent Friday night at Brad and Irene's down inVegas, and woke up to the best breakfast in the whole world.

Luke's adjusting well to his new home and is getting braver around the dogs every second. He's given his grandpa a high five and shown grandma his new room. He's even let his aunt and cousin's hold him and play with him, which is a huge hurdle to overcome.

Glad to see you made it safe and sound. Sounds like Luke is adjusting well and you all had a MUCH better flight than we did. I (we) are so happy for you all and enjoyed your company immensely in Kaz. Keep us updated. Enjoy your little boy!

Hey-- looks like we both got home with our babies almost same time! It's such a wonderful feeling, huh?

I hope you'll post and let us know how he's doing now that he's home for 3 weeks :) Time does fly!

OHHH wait a minute! You brought him home LAST YEAR! So sorry, I didn't realize you're adopting from Guatemala right now...and that you have another blog!

Oops, my face is red! Guess it has to do with being sleep-deprived? Is that good excuse? ;)
