We are home!!!!

We made it home safe and sound. It was a long 32 hours of travel, but we did it! Pasha did great. We made all our flights and everything was on time. It was a 6.5 hour flight from Almaty to Frankfurt , a 7 hour layover in Frankfurt (with a toddler and no stroller), a 10 hour flight from Frankfurt to Denver, an hour in customs in Denver (Pasha became a US citizen at 3:37 pm on May 15th when our plane landed in Denver- we celebrated by getting off the plane!), an hour flight to Albuquerque and an hour drive from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. We got home about 8:30pm last night! On our last flight from Denver to Santa Fe, all of us being extremely tired, we were trying to keep Pasha entertained so he wouldn't have a meltdown and ruin the flight for everyone. He did really well but was so tired that he literally fell asleep sitting up in my lap. He didn't cry- just all of a sudden stuck his fingers in his mouth and in five seconds was completely asleep- sitting up! Thank you so much to Maya, Jamie, Melisa and Kelly, for the wonderful clean home, good food, flowers and transportation that greeted us at home. Its WONDERFUL to be home. Love, Jenny, Grove and Pavel

Hi Jenny, Grove & Pasha!
Congratulations! My daughter, Amy and her husband David Hall are one of the other couples adopting in Pavlodar now. Amy gave me your blogspot and wanted me to see pics of the little guy. He is so cute. I just want to wish you all the happiness.
Amy & David will have court on Tuesday the 22nd. We are all eagerly awaiting their return. Again, best wishes.
