No Place Like Home!




Back a week and just now writing - OOPS!! I am sure you understand. There are no words to describe how incredible this entire experience has been. We are just blown away. We were ecstatic to be home - our own beds, our own shower, our moms to cook for us, and friends bringing meals...it is awesome! Cole LOVES being home. When we first walked in the door and started showing him around he just had the biggest smile and started bouncing up and down in my arms - he new we were home at last. He loves to be able to play on the carpet with all of his toys. He has adjusted so great. It took him a little to get his sleep schedule switched, but the last three nights have been great. We are so proud of him. He is a cuddler, which mom and dad love and he has really had fun meeting anyone and everyone. He is crawling all over the place and is pulling up to stand at the coffee table, couch, mom's legs everywhere, etc. I will be organizing some more pictures and will post soon!

I was looking though our pictures today and I was actually missing Vietnam! It was such a different place and incredible trip that a piece of me is sad to have left. I think we will always have a small longing for Vietnam - the country that brought our son Cole Thai. We cannot wait to take him back some day to see it.

So glad you're finally home! Three weeks in Vietnam can really make you homesick. We hope to go back there some day and show Rocco his homeland. It is a beautiful place. It's good to know that Cole has adjusted well.

So glad you are finally home. I loved my first baby sitting job. I think he is still adjusting to my blonde hair! I noticed a few strange glances from time to time. I can see it in his jet black eyes...what is on grandma's head!!!
