Day One!

I only have a moment because - well - we are all pooped out! But I wanted to share with you all here that our Day 1 with our new larger family went GREAT! Of course we had the bumps in the road we were expecting with the kids, but overall, things are going great! I have to give much credit to ICBF, and especially the fantastic psychiatrist and social worker that worked with our children and wrote the reports. They were right on about everything: personalities, needs, desires, likes, dislikes. The kids were pretty well prepared and had, what I thought to be and incredible understanding of our family and the adoption process. My husband is uploading pictures to our blog as I type...and then we collapse into bed. Bedtime was a fiasco - I'm not sure if the kids had ever had a hot shower, they were so excited and that created quite a commotion which lead to them not getting settled down. : ) Hopefully all five of them will sleep late tomorrow! Either that or I'll need lots of coffee. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: Good thing we're in the coffee region! Maybe later I'll update my signature...after sleep and lots of coffee. :coffee:
