We're Home

Home Sweeeeeeeeeet Home!

We made it, for a while we were not sure if we would ever feel the softness of our bed or the warmth of the sun on our faces again.  We traveled for a total of 24 hours before we landed in the good old U.S of A, I cried as we landed thinking of all that I was grateful for in life.  Our little Zilya became an American citizen as soon as we hit the sweet American soil!

We spent 10 hours at the Chicago airport because our flight was delayed, we arrived in Boise at 4:00 a.m. Friday morning January 12th 2007.  37 hours of traveling and 3 hours of sleep just doesn't cut it for me.

We were so excited to see Moses and Keziah they looked like they grew while we were away.  They were so excited to see their new sister they hardly noticed us.  They have been busy fighting over who gets to feed her and who gets to change her diapers.  Zilya thinks they are the greatest! Of course they are.

Zilya is adjusting very well to her new life, she is sleeping through the nights and eating lots as you can clearly see.  She is such a perfect addition to our family.

We are excited for all of you to meet her, we have explained to her that she has some really weird uncles, sweet aunties and crazy cousins. She has met two of her three Grandmas and of course it was love at first sight. Then there are the Grandpas "Oh My"  I warned her they were extremely strange and funny looking, and they would ask her all kinds of funny questions??? This did not seem to bother her, she has an extra special spot in her heart for them.

Thank you all for  joining us in our journey to bring home sweet Zilya Joy, she has brought us more than we ever hoped for.

Love and Peace,

The Gliddens
