Back Home Again
It turns out that our plans to update this journal on our first trip was not practical. More on that later. We got in two hours ago after 36 hours in travel mode. This is just a quick update before we go to bed.
The trip was successful. We accepted both matches and we are satisfied that both children are very healthy and well developed.
We have named the boy Andrew William and the girl Bethany Rose.
We both have been keeping written diaries on the trip, but had to fall behind on those also. Mostly relied on the plane rides to write.
The days were long, some never ending, meals were few and not much sleep. But, we have some great memories and we accomplished our goal.
Our kids are beautiful and happy. Now we dream of bringing them home.
We'll provide details later today and tomorrow.
