It's hard to believe we have been home for a week. The jet lag has been harder than I had imagined. We get so tired at about 5:00 everynight, while the boys are ready to play. They have had a hard time sleeping but we were really encouraged last night. They both went to bed at 8:00pm and only woke up once for a bottle and then right back to sleep and then up at 6:30am. Hallelujah!!! It's amazing to watch the boys with the girls. They get so excited when one of them walks into the room. The girls are such a big help, too. They make bottles, feed them, play with them and try to get them to sleep. I have to remind them that I am the mommy and that I have to do these things so the boys will know who the mommy is. I am so thankful for how the girls have welcomed the boys into our family. Chelsea commented the other day that the boys already feel like her brothers. Praise the Lord! The biggest problem we are having right now is the car seats. William cannot stand the car seat. James does fine but when William starts to scream, it frightens James and then they are both screaming. It makes for a long car ride. Hopefully, they will get used to them soon because with 6 kids, we are in the car alot.
Thank you so much to everyone who have brought over meals, given gifts for the boys, called with words of encouragement or who have prayed for us. We can't wait until the boys are older and we can share with them how much they were wanted and loved. Not just by us but by everyone!!!!

Sooo cool to see your family all together! :)
Yippee!!! So fun to see you guys tonight! The boys are AMAZING, and it's clear that they feel right at home. Chet can't wait to see them in person! When we got home, he kept asking all kinds of questions about the boys and how things were going. I forgot to tell you that he's teaching our Sunday School class this week, so he was preparing for that. Anyway, he's really excited to see you guys again.
Guys...they're trying to tell you, "We're from ASIA!!! We don't need silly car seats. What are these strange customs?!?!" :) We love and miss you guys. We're meeting in SE Asia with tons of people from our company and it is amazing how many of them have adopted Asian children.
So glad your girls are helping so much! Those boys' faces, their smiles - they just melt your heart! Let us know if we can do anything. :)
