We are home!!!

Michael, Abera and I landed in Chicago on Friday the 3rd... and spent the remainder of Friday and morning of Saturday at Michael's parents' lake home... as a family of 4!


Although fatigue quickly caught up with Michael and I (we slept for 1 hour at most during our 26 hours of travel), we soaked in the love that Mehandis gave us and his little brother... along with the enthusiasm and excitement that the rest of our family had at our homecoming.

Abera "gave" Mehandis a Lightning McQueen (Radiator Springs model... can't believe I know so much about this movie) and Mehandis gave Abera lots of cuddles and kisses.

Abera continues downing his formula from a bottle, which is an accomplishment given that he was used to taking it from his nannies in little metal cups.  

We are learning more of Abera's likes/dislikes.  He likes being patted on his belly, rubbed on his back, sleeping on his tummy, playing on his back and watching his brother rough house with his daddy.

Too bad you don't get the view of Michael's feet in the pic... quite the fashionable footwear being donned here.  This photo was taking right before we left the lake house, headed north to our home.  We have all since caught up on more sleep, shaved, unpacked and started settling into our new routines :)

I LOVE the picture of Mehandis giving Abera a hug. Love it, love it! Cannot wait to meet little man in person. He's so much bigger!!

Tiz keeps asking why Mehandis got a little brother so quickly and why it is taking us so long. Oh...if only the system were that easy!

Love to you all!
