I'm going to dedicate this post to the pick up trip and trip home and then do a separate post about the first few weeks home. Abi and Joseph are adjusting great!!
I'm going to let the pictures tell the story:
 |
| Abi and Joseph right after I arrived at Auntie Ruth's. Joseph already has my backpack on and wants to go to the hotel. |
 |
| Abi and Joseph at our hotel |
 |
| The afternoon of the day we leave for the airport. |
 |
| A few minutes before leaving waiting for the AAI Van to pick us up and take us to the airport. Very excited kids! |
 |
| A last pic with Auntie Ruth. This was Abi and Joseph's foster Mom over the last 7 months. |
 |
| At the airport after making it through bag checks, tickets, immigration, etc etc. We are having a "treat" to kill some time before we go to the gate and have to sit and sit and sit. |
 |
| At the gate. Joseph is taking a picture of Abi and I. |
 |
| At this point we have been at the gate about 30 minutes.....it is about 10:30 at night (way past bedtime) and Joseph is getting cranky and not thinking all this waiting is much fun. |
 |
| Finally on the plane. Very excited kids! (If they only knew how many hours we were about the fly) |
 |
| The next day on our 3rd and last flight. We are within minutes of being home and Daddy waiting for us at the airport. |
 |
| Getting ready to take off in Denver. This is our 3rd and last flight. Abi can't stop talking about Daddy being at the airport. |
 |
| This picture says it all. They went running through the glass doors and practically knocked Omar over. Very happy to see their Dad and he was soooo happy to see them. For Omar it had been 5 months since seeing the kids. |
