They're Baaaaaack...

And it is awesome.
I use that word a lot, I need to work on expanding my vocabulary just a little bit.
Linguistics aside, Nate and Martine and NOAH made it home safely last night.
There was some family, lots of hugs, a few tears and tons of balloons welcoming them home at the airport.
After a few round of pass-the-baby we managed to get luggage (it all arrived on time) and get in the car.
There was some concern as to how little man would handle the car seat as he has been either held or in the Baby Bjorn for all of his traveling up to now. He was totally chill the whole ride home.
So, we got them settled, and fed.
Noah was a little cranky - who can blame him? After a 36 hour trans-pacific flight and being 12 hours off your schedule, I would be cranky as hell too. Was slightly overwhelmed with all the new smells, sounds and multiple rooms -- up to this point he has been in either one room at the orphanage or at the hotel. Nate and Martine were awesome to watch. Of course, hearing them refer to themselves as Mom & Dad will take some getting used to.

All in all, thrilled to have them home and get started on this new chapter.
