one year home!

Happy girl on the plane ride home!
Touching the ground for the first time as a US citizen!
Home!
I can't believe it has been one whole year since we brought Kaelin home! I will never forget seeing all of our kids nervously waiting for us as we walked out of the security area with their new baby sister! I was fine until I saw them and then unexpectedly burst into tears! Maybe it was just because I missed them or more so that I realized I had been waiting for this moment for three and a half years! I wish I had been more prepared for the moment! I did not have my camera ready as it had been such a long and tiring flight, that I just wasn't coherent enough to remember that small but important thing! Oh well, the memory lives in our hearts and minds and it is surely one we will all never forget! Come to think of it, maybe Marie or Sarah have pics and I just never got them!
