It has never felt so good to cross the threshold of my home as it did last night. I carried my little man in (doing everything I could not to wake him!), after the longest day in history (literally...it was a 32 hour day for us). Jacob is home. Our family is complete. He is being such a trooper after a very long 4 days stuck in a Moscow hotel room (those were not my favourite days, but maybe I'll write about that later..), he has spent the morning enjoying all of his new things. Oh folks, the journey this sweet boy has taken over the past week is nothing short of incredible. He has learned so much in such a short time with us. There are so many words I could say, but I haven't slept more than about 10 hours in the past 3 nights, and my tears will ruin my keyboard.
We are so, so grateful for our family and friends who cooked us dinners, cleaned our house, gave us amazing gifts, and met us at the airport for the sweetest homecoming ever. God is good.

Welcome home Kennedys! We love you and are thinking of you.
I'm so glad you are home and have yor little one with you. I hope he adjusts quickly.
Welcome home!!
We are SO excited you as you start your life as a family, and I'm sure these past few days have been a blur (that doesn't change though!). But I also wanted to post something from one new mom to another:
Adjusting to life (now that a new little person has entered it) is probably the most difficult thing you'll ever do... But it's also the most rewarding.
I'm sure you both are feeling the same things we did when we brought Caitlin home for the first time (exhaustion, helpless, overwhelmed), but I promise that one day you'll look back at these first few weeks and laugh at everything... and that day may seem far away now, but it's comes quicker than you think :) You'll get to know one another at a surprising pace.
Congratulations Becky & Mark - may this journey be filled with lots of love and laughter :)
This post makes my heart happy =]
