It’s Good to Be Home!

We arrived home late this afternoon, 25 hours after getting up this morning in Seoul, Korea. Everything went as scheduled, and getting through immigration in Korea or customs in the US was a very smooth process.

Sarah handled the trip very well, in spite of some pretty heavy and lengthy turbulence during the flight. Sarah’s foster family described her as a light sleeper, which may be the reason she didn’t get as much sleep as she should have. She went to sleep early tonight (which is daytime in Korea) so we’re not sure what her schedule will be tonight and in the days to come.

We also enjoyed reconnecting with Ethan and introducing him to Sarah tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll write about Ethan and Sarah’s first moments together. In the meantime, I’ll just say, we’re *very* pleased! :-) We’ll also post some more photos from our time in Korea In the next couple days.

For now, here are a few from our long trip home.

Welcome home! Pictures seem to indicate that Sarah is eager for new experiences. I do hope and pray that this is indeed an indication of what the next few days, weeks, and months will be like as you continue to weave her life with yours. Blessings.

Thanks for all the comments and words of welcome.
