We made it home yesterday afternoon after 26 hours in a plane or airport.....glad that's over.
Isaac is doing great. He had/we had a rough first few days (will post more on that later), but he has taken baby steps everyday. Each new smile, laugh, word (yes, he says, mama, dada, mima(Micah), car) is treasured. They didn't come easily. Since yesterday he has blossomed. He seems so much more comfortable at home. It's as if he knew this was coming and was just like, finally we are here. However, car seats, high-chairs, crib are all foreign to him so since yesterday he has experienced a lot of things he does not like (currently is crying in his crib).
Trevor and I are doing great, I think. I have my moments of frustration, but Trev is always there to help me deal (not sure what I will do come Monday when he leaves me alone).
Micah, is adjusting. He does not like it when Isaac cries, which can be very loud and for a long time. He wants to comfort him with hugs and funny faces, but that sometimes only makes him more mad. I think because we were gone for so long (13 days) we want to just make sure he still loves us and hasn't forgotten how things were, but once we stepped off the plane things for him were not as they were before we left. So, i guess you could say he is taking baby steps as well.
Ethiopia, was an amazing experience that I hope to post about very soon, but just not now. Still trying to process it all...baby steps, ya know (:
I know you all are dieing to see pics. of Isaac, but for some reason this dumb thing won't upload my pictures. Sorry. Will try again later.

Tears of joy streaming down my face. Hallelujah - Isaac is home, where he belongs, with you! Can't wait to see pictures...hang in there with taking those baby steps --- God will equip you! The Moore family is so happy for you all - Love you guys, Lisa
Hey there .... SO happy to see your post and the pics you sent were such a special gift this weekend ..... although our kids are dying to see their sister in PINK! ... the boys especially are questioning her attire. Ha! :) Sweet brothers. I'm especially eager to hear how the adjustment has gone. Through your experiences God will teach us so much as you share them. Praying for your hearts to grow together more and more each day as you settle in as a family. Blessings!, ~Shelly
GRATEFUL that you're home!
You're HOME! Hooray! I know the adjustment can be bumpy, so I'll be praying for you... Looking forward to hearing all about Ethiopia and more about your new little man!
Welcome Home!! I'm so happy to read this. Praying for grace to handle the tough stuff, peace in little Isaac's heart, and some sleep for the tired parents!!
I've been stalking your blog to see when you would get home. I'm so happy to hear that everyone is home safely.
Hang in there Keva. Going from 1 to 2 is hard, but add in a child's adjustment through adoption and it's an added stressor. Katie, Kerry, and myself have all been there. Remember it does get better and we are all here for you if you need us.
Yay!! I am so happy to hear from you! I so enjoyed praying for your time each day you were gone. I can't wait to see pics of your family all together and of your time in Ethiopia.
Can't wait to catch up:) I missed you very much!
Welcome home! I am so happy you guys are home and all together. We will be praying for you guys to adjust well! Can't wait to see you guys!

I am so glad you are home. I have been checking your blog everyday!! I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about your trip. I was thinking about it last night and wondering how this experience compares to your Russian experience.
I am so happy for your family.
Welcome home! I very much appreciate your words. It must be tough getting used to a little brother, but soon it will seem as if it couldn't be any other way. Cheers to all of you.
So glad you are finally home. It IS a huge adjustment, isn't it? I loved your authenticity. Helps me prepare for whatever God lays before us.
WELCOME HOME!!!!!! Hang in there...it will get easier every day! Can't wait to see pictures of your little men!!!!

Sooo glad you are home. Call me anytime, I think you remember how overwhelming/grateful/exhausted/panicked I was when the two Ruskies came home two years ago...

Praise the name of Jesus! So glad you are all home safe. I am praying for grace during this transition time. Can't wait to see and hear how the Lord is working in all of you and the evidence of His hand in your new family of FOUR!
