Two months... really?

I truly cannot believe that tomorrow marks two months since we stepped foot back on American soil. I can't tell you how good it felt to be back in Indiana. I missed my boys like crazy and I was ready for my family of seven to be together!
Despite the extreme fatigue and greasy hair, I was overjoyed to see all these people waiting for us at the airport.

Josiah couldn't wait to give out hugs.
Hanna getting her first hello from Nana and Pappy.
I love this face. This girl loves phones. Not fake kid phones, but real phones and she prefers ones that play music. Thank you very much...

Chloe and Daddy
Saying hello to their big brothers, Isaac and John. I think Chloe was really telling them to back away from the phone!
My sister and our families. Between the two of us there are now nine grandkids!
The Alexander Family (Monte, Tisha, Isaac age 7, John age 6, Josiah one day shy of turning 5, Hanna and Chloe age 2)
I really want to update you all on how everyone is doing, but I just don't have enough energy today. I hope you can forgive me, please.
Isaac's birthday is this coming Sunday. We are headed to Chicago for the AGCI picnic and then we'll go to the Lego store so Isaac can blow through all his birthday money! I am really looking forward to another weekend filled with family and other adoptive families.

I love these pictures. I especially love to see your girls holding onto you and your husband. You are their rocks amongst all of the strangeness. Beautiful. I can't wait to watch them grow and thrive. I also can't believe that it has already been 2 months home for you guys...it seems like just moments ago that I was anticipating your return to American and blog stalking...haha. Thanks for the update! I hope you are rejuvinated soon.

Amazing!! Can you even remember life any other way? You are clearly a mama well loved and well deserving of that love.

I love that last family picture. So sweet. I understand the low energy ;). I haven't had much time or mental energy for blogging since school started.
Love the updates when you have time!
