The trip home was 3 flights, 13 hours in airports, ~ 9000 miles, 15 hours in the air, many bottles, diapers, and walks. (Pic above is before going through immigration line in MSP airport- Evian is now a U.S. citizen!)
We were greeted by dear friends, Pete & Erica Lehner who picked us up from the airport. When we got home Elianna and Ember were ecstatic! For the rest of the weekend, the big sisters have learned Evian's tickle spots, smiles, cries, pushed her in a stroller and swing, and are very glad to entertain her. It will be hard for them to peel away from their new little sister and go to school tomorrow.
Thanks for your continued prayers for us throughout the trip and now as the transition to MN begins. We are jet-lagged but joyfully resting in God's grace over our family. (Pic below is minutes after we returned home to Woodbury.)
