We are home!

Yeahhh! I never thought it would happen, but we are finally home. The flight went well. We actually got there on time. The children were great. They got right up and got dressed and were ready to go. They were a little nervous on the ride to the airport but when we got in line Ray and Maxim got really nervous. Ray grabbed my hand while we were waiting in line to board but they did well. Sasha was ready and excited; she watched everything and did not seem scared at all.
Immigration was the worst. We were very tired and the line was very long. When it was finally our turn it took forever for them to check us in. We thought we were done but they ushered us off to another line. We waited between the two lines close to 2 hours. The children were good but not happy at all. They were so excited to be Americans but they did not think they would have to wait in line so long. By the time we got checked in and OK they were not feeling well and it was a very quiet. Ray dozed off and on the whole trip, Maxim slept through most of it and Sasha sat wide eyed taking it all in.
Cheryl met us at the airport and surprised me with a big (almost a tackle) hug. It was great to see a friendly face.
Mikie met us outside with the dogs so he could introduce them. Sasha was a little nervous but quickly warmed up to them. Maxim and Ray liked playing with them. They seemed to like Bella the best. They did not seem to excited about the house or their rooms but they were not upset either. I think it is  lot for them to take in.
I will write more later and post more pictures from our trip and coming home. We are very tired tonight and will be going to bed soon. Thank you for every one’s support through our adventure. Ray, Maxim and Sasha are definitely the children of our dreams.
