We arrived home last night at around 9:30pm after a very long day! The flights went ok, except for Miranda having diarrhea twice! Ugh. That was no fun. Had to throw away an outfit and a blanket, but otherwise no major problems. She seemed fine and didn't act out of sorts at all. She slept most of both of the flights.
Matt's parents picked us up at the airport and when we got home there were so many surprises! Beautiful, colorful signs in the yard and in our living room, flowers and food at our doorstep, food in our freezer, cute gifts from friends...It was all such a great welcome home! Matt did a great job on Miranda's room--I'll try to post some pictures later today.
Miranda slept all night and woke up happy around 7:30am. The boys are going to go to school this afternoon and I'll be here unpacking and doing laundry! Back to real life.

Welcome Home Travelers! Looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting Miss Miranda!
Michele...I have tears in my eyes! Its so nice to have good friends to share in your excitement. I also have tears in my eyes...can you believe it - you just said 'back to real life'...but real life is now being a mom of a 6 month old! Crazy that just a week ago...you didn't have her...and now I am sure you can't imagine life without her!! Have FUN!
Miranda, Welcome home! Congratulations on your homecoming! God Bless!
The Huffs, (Have adopted and are again adopting adopting from Guatemala)
