Getting Settled In

We're home and boy are we glad! We loved our stay in Vietnam. We appreciate the experience more that anyone will ever know but it's still so good to be home.

The flights went so smoothly. Jackson was an angel. We didn't have any problems or any delays. We were nervous about going through immigration with Jackson but the process took maybe 7 minutes and we didn't have to answer any questions. We didn't have to go through customs since we had nothing to declare. The only hard part was being in the air or in an airport for 30 hours straight.

We arrived in Lafayette at 10:15am on Wednesday as planned. Several family members met us at the airport with signs and posters. It was too cool. They all came back to our house for a couple of hours to visit and eat. It was so weird walking into our house. It is so nice and fancy. It's really not a fancy house but compared to the homes in VN, ours is a mansion.

Jackson took a couple of days to get used to the time difference but I would say that even that was a success. We slept a lot during the day Wednesday through Friday but on Saturday and Sunday we kept him so busy during the day that he pretty much slept through the night both nights. He's such a good baby. He rarely cries. He's more of a complainer than a crier. It's so cute the way he talks all the time. He gets shy around new people so not many people have seen his true colors. We've slowly transitioned him from the formula he was on in VN to an american brand without any gliches. He just doesn't vomit at all - it's great. He still has a little trouble pooping some time but we are seeing his pediatrician today so hopefully she'll address that for us.

Kosmo is so in love with the baby. It's cute. When Jackson is on the sofa, Kosmo will sit next to him and put his paw on Jackson's leg. Yesterday, I had Jackson in his bumbo so Kosmo went lay in front of him for Jackson to rub his belly with his little foot. It was too funny. Kosmo even goes check on Jackson in his room when he starts to complain.

Thanks to everyone who supported us throughout this journey. It's been such a roller coaster ride but things couldn't have turned out any better. Jackson has fit right in to our family without missing a beat. We feel so truely blessed to have him and you all in our lives.
