Flip Side... We made it!

We finally arrived at our home at about 1am Wednesday night (Thursday morning). The 11 hour flight went exceptionally well, considering the previously horrible flight. We had a 4 hour layover in Chicago and that didn't bode well with Jack. About 2 hours into it he started getting cranky and before we got on the plane it was tantrum time. Thankfully when we got on the plane he only complained for a short while before falling asleep and that's when we were able to get about an hour's worth ourselves. By the time we got home we had been awake for almost 24 hours.We were exhausted but of course, Jack was way too interested in everything to go to sleep. He started playing with his toys immediately. It was cute, but the exhaustion continued. We were able to settle him enough and he fell asleep in his crib by about 3am. Of course, we crashed too. Jack slept until about 7am which was wonderful! Jack enjoyed a nice breakfast in his new booster seat which we love since we don't have to chase him around any more, or try to make him sit in a chair to eat. I took a trip to Walmart for supplies and then we ate lunch. We let Jack eat on his own and it was fun to watch. A little messy too but what do you expect from a 19 month old! :) He's down again for his afternoon nap and we're hoping all things go well with adjustment to the new time schedule. Now we're gonna try to get the house back in order.

Thanks for following along with us. I'll still post about things, so if you're interested feel free to check in again soon!

P.S. Thanks for those who prayed for Julie and her son. We crossed paths briefly at the hotel and I was able to meet him and he's adorable. His fever has broken, praise God, and they are now in their last week in Russia!
