Glad to be home.

We made it home and after mostly recovering from jet lag we are getting back to our "new" normal. We arrived at DFW at 12:30 am on Saturday morning due to a slight delay in Chicago. Our AMAZING friends Dan, Renee and Jake McAtee, Pam Sanza and Branda and Mattie McEwen met us at the airport. We were shocked as it was so late. Our flight home went much better than expected with a 2 year old and Hudson slept several hours (although Mark and I didn't). We got home at 2 am and were wide awake since we were on 3 pm China time. We let Hudson explore his new home till about 4 then off to bed we all went.
Once again our awesome friends decorated our house and stocked our kitchen and had meals set up for us for several days.
Hudson is doing great although he seems a bit lost during the day when everyone is gone. He comes alive when the kids and Mark get home. Last night was the first night he slept all night and this mama was so happy. I was running on fumes from my last goodnight sleep last Wednesday night in China.
It is great to be home. We felt so loved and cared for while gone with so many of you following along and those of you here in Sherman warmly welcoming us home.
I will post on my Thankful Thursday all the answered prayers while we were gone. They truly got us through with flying colors!!!
Hudson is learning new things daily. Tonight the kids taught him some dance moves....very entertaining.
I will continue to update our blog with Hudson news.....we will have our first visit to our craniofacial team the end of the month and expect his first surgery sometime this summer.

Thanks for the Hudson fix...I miss that little guy! So glad that he is sleeping better. Maggie has been doing well in that area, but gets up about once a night crying and looking for me.

I still feel like I am in a fog of sorts, but hopefully this too shall pass. It is all worth it! I know that you feel the same.

Love you girl~
