We're home!


We're back safely!! Sorry that it took so long to get back to everyone. Between computer issues and jetlag, we've been out of sorts. McKaden had a relatively uneventful 20 or so hours of travel. On our long flight back to Seattle (about 8.5 hours), she slept only a couple hours. She did receive lots of attention from our flight attendants. Our friend Dianne picked us up at the airport (with baloons and flowers) right after McKaden became a U.S. citizen. No problems with immigration (we are calling her "our little Immigrant" sometimes). The Visa that we had for McKaden indentified her as an immediate relative, thereby allowing her immediate U.S. citizenship. Since we've been home, she's been adjusting to life in cold, foggy Washington. No more 90 degrees here! She's already been to Target and the grocery store. . .shopping seems to suit her. Her sleeping is slightly off, which makes our sleeping more than slightly off. Today (Thanksgiving) we had many things to be thankful for, of course, McKaden being one of them. We enjoyed a great Thanksgiving at Bryce and Missy's (Mark's brother and sister-in-law) and Mac got to play with two of her cousins. Well, tomorrow is her first birthday, so there is much to do to get ready. We'll post pictures from that tomorrow!
