We couldn't wait to see Nathaniel...and when we did, we couldn't believe how much he seems to have changed over just 2 weeks! He looks taller and is talking so grown up...oh how we missed our little man! He was thrilled to finally meet his 'Fleea', and almost immediately she was more than willing to lean in and give him kisses. Then at dinner (or breakfast for us since we are still on china time)...he said, "I will feed 'him' okay"...so sweet to watch him feeding his little sister, and of course Thea was more than willing to let him since food was involved! :) I am definitely feeling a bit overwhelmed with the 'mama of 3' thing...but maybe once i recover from this insane jet-lag it will be a bit easier (I'm hoping anyways...lol). Nathaniel has been trying to carry Thea around...only doesn't realize that doing so by her neck isn't such a great idea...yikes! Won't be leaving them alone for a bit...and we'll definitely be working on the 'gentle' thing for the next little while for sure.
Anyways...I am beyond tired...i can't even remember how many hours i've been awake...well over 24, I know that much (no sleep for me on the plane). Thea didn't cry...but she and Mataeus both only slept for about 3 hours (at different times) on the long flight home!!
Glen has left already for his weekend in Montreal with his brother for Formula 1...i'm definitely missing him and wish he was here as we adjust...but so happy that he was still able to go and enjoy this 'dream' with his bro.
Nathaniel woke up crying for me earlier already...I'm sure he is worried about me still being here when he wakes up. I keep reassuring him, but he doesn't want me to leave his room at all. I feel so bad for him that he is now having to re-adjust again...I'm praying for extra patience so that I can give him all the attention he needs in the coming days.
Will update more once we are a bit more with it...just wanted to let you all know we are home and safe and happy. Praise God for a truly amazing journey to bring our little princess home!

Just wanted to encourage you that the jet lag is the worst and it is just like that long trip home... mind over matter. Will yourself through it and pray a lot. You will make it. Let everything go except sitting on the floor playing with your kids. If they sleep, you sleep. :) I remember us ALL going to bed about 4:30 and not waking up until the next morning. That made a huge difference! Hang in there, it will get better. So thankful to see you are home and can't wait to hear a little tidbit about Will.
Blessings!!!
Welcome home! Praying for you as you adjust to a family of 5 as well that God will give you strength while glen is gone. Hugs
Yay, you are home!! I love the picture of Nathaniel feeding Thea, he is such a good brother, praying that you guys get over jet lag and everything will be back to normal soon, Miss you guys!!!Blessings!!!!
So glad you are all home now, safe and sound! The jet lag is truly awful, I hope you are all able to switch over quickly. Luckily the weather is beautiful so you can get outside to play in the sun to help reset your internal clocks. Maybe a play date at the splash park when you are feeling up for it?
Yay...I'm so excited you're home safe with your sweet daughter and reunited with Nathaniel - that must've been so hard being away from him for so long. Can't wait to meet Thea...let me know when things have settled down for you and we'll stop in for a visit. Take care:)
Please let me know if there is anything at all that we can help with while you get settled and get adjusted. And please let us know when you feel up for visitors we can't wait to meet your beautiful daughter.
Welcome home, So happy for you all what a blessing for all. Thea sure looks like she fits in well, She is so sweet I can't wait to meet her, I wish you a life time of happy blessings with your family of 5.
So happy that you are home and altogether now! :) Hope you get over the jetlag soon--it is so exhausting! We'll be praying for a smooth adjustment as a family of 5! Can't wait to hear about Mia! :)
Take care!!!
So happy to hear you are home! How did Glen make out getting on yet another plane? Let us know if you need anything...I can bring coffee or lunch!!!

Welcome home!!! Jet lag is not fun to go through, I think that's the worst part of the whole trip! You will be a great Momma to 3! Hope you get the much needed rest and feel human again soon! So happy for your beautiful family of 5!!!
