Home with our Mischa Grace!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we made it home late Friday night with our newest American citizen. The family was at the airport in Syracuse to greet us with signs and balloons...it was so nice to see everyone. She slept through most of it ... but everyone still got to have a turn holding her.

The 12 hour flight was relatively smooth. The first few hours were a little rough but then she was fine for the rest of the trip. (thank you to baby Mozart) She officially became an American citizen when we landed at JFK.

So far things are going well. Still hard to believe we are home. She really liked playing with her cousins over the weekend and continues to eat very well. She is such a little peanut.

I'll post more later with some more pictures!

So glad that everything has fallen into place for all of you! Mischa is a hit in NH, I showed everyone her pictures at my party on Sat! Looking forward to seeing you guys! What does she think of Granite? I know you told me about the dogs in Russia, but she actually gets to touch her dog!! Look forward to chatting with you! Michele :-)
