Home six weeks!

Hello again! I know, I know! We dropped off the face of the Earth. We returned home on April 26th and nothing has been the same since. After a week of jetlag recovery we began to settle into a routine--we are keeping to a structured daily schedule so the boys can learn to trust that we will take good care of them, keep them safe and be predictable. The boys have really adjusted well--they eat good, they sleep good and they are pretty well behaved. Aidan has gained over 6 lbs. and Liam has gained over 5 lbs. since we met them in the baby house. We started off slow with meeting people... we had only a few people at the airport when we arrived and we limited visitors, too. We take them on short outings to shop or walk and they seem to enjoy that a lot. We did finally give in and had an open house party for all of our friends and family to meet the boys... we had over 50 people there and the kiddos just loved it.

Here are some photos of them since our return. Our laptop is in the shop so when it comes back, we hope to post some of the things we had written about Kazakhstan (the myths) as well as some of the photos (funny local products) from our last days there.
