We are back in Virginia safe and sound and Grace is now a U.S. citizen! It was a very long trip - something like 28 hours of travel - but God blessed us with an amazingly well behaved little girl. Grace cried briefly on each of the first two flights because she was not really excited about the seat belts. But other than that she just slept and played quietly with two or three toys. Incredible!
She has met her brothers and sister as well as my parents. Christy's mom will be here tomorrow. Grace is still just beginning to warm up to everyone but I don't think it will take long. She did play some with her siblings and was actually quite upset when I told her she had to leave their room because they need to get to sleep. (1am is a little past their bed time.)
Well... I can feel the floor swaying like and airplane, so I think it is time for bed. We will post more details later.
