Big Sister Blues Subsiding



Claire actually entertained Luc today. Okay, it was for only 30 seconds, but we'll take it! We have found some good routines; naps, afternoons in the park, and trying not to get hit by cars.

We Arrived

Today we spent the day acclimating to our new home. We've met two families from Italy adopting and next Sunday a family from Indiana will be here. Claire was quite a trooper yesterday, surviving two long plane rides and a trip through customs.
We receive Luc tomorrow at 8:30 am!

We hope you'll follow our journey and we look forward to hearing from you while we are there!
