Our Gift of Mischa Grace - Home Two Months

Two months ago today we stepped off the plane at JFK with Mischa Grace and handed her paperwork to the immigration officers. She was finally home. We went to dinner with our newest American girl. (she slept the whole time) Then after traveling for 21 hours (in the IA world they call this labor) and almost not getting on our connecting flight because it was overbooked... we walked through the gates to the best welcome home. Our families had traveled two hours through a major lake effect snowstorm to welcome home our Mischa Grace. Some of the pictures are blurry and I think I have red eye in most of them but these are the best pictures of our journey.

Waiting for us!

Coming through the gate!

Today just happens to be my birthday too. I couldn't ask for a better present ... she is my Gift of Grace, our Amazing Grace and Our Saving Grace ... we are so lucky to have her and she was so worth the wait. We wouldn't change a thing. She is doing so good and is growing like crazy. She loves Baby Einstein, FOOD, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, FOOD, chasing Granite around the house, FOOD and her pink princess car. We just love her to pieces. It has finally hit me that she is here. No more waiting and only a little paperwork left. Our first Voyage to Russia is over..our Mischa Grace is home. It seems like the perfect time to bring this blog to a close. I did start another blog that will be just Mischa Grace and I will continue to post pictures and small updates if anyone is interested in checking in on her. It's been such a great way to capture the memories. (actually it's the only way I remember anything these days:) Once it's finished I will post the new address and link on here. We'll leave you with some of her, "Home for Two Months" pictures.

Thank you for all your support, kind words, gifts and for joining us on this journey! We are so lucky to be surrounded by such great family and friends.
Til' next time.
Spasibo!
