Anna Kate Comes Home ...

Well, we are finally home after about 22 hours of traveling. When we arrived in Detroit (the first US landing), Anna Kate officially became a full fledged american citizen. We were greeted at the airport by some of our dear friends from church holding a big beautiful sign with signatures and greetings from our lifegroup class members. They also took us home and to our surprise, had another sign inside our home along with a nice warm home cooked dinner waiting for us to devour. They also collected numerous diapers and baby wipes from our class members and also informed us that dinners have been scheduled to arrive over the course of the next several days. We are so thankful for the good, dear friends that have shown such support over the course of our adoption journey. You guys are awesome !!! Anna Kate is doin' great as she is getting acquainted with all of her new surroundings. She is even beginning to understand some english. She knows "kiss" and "clap hands"and says "a dog" when she sees Nadia. She loves to be held and talked to. She is very observant and loves to go around the house pointing at things and loves it when we tell her what everything is. She also is a very good eater and one of her favorite foods is cooked brocolli. She is getting adjusted to her sleeping schedule, although she seems to always wake up around 2 am and wants to play. More pics coming soon.
