We made it home...

last Wednesday night. My family and our good friend Paul and his daughter Katie were waiting at the airport for us. It was so nice to see all of them. I started to cry as we came down the escalator and saw their faces. It felt so good to be home and have them meet our new baby boy.

We have been trying to get settled in and unpacked. Our house is still a mess but I get a little done each day. Ron's mom is here visiting and she has been helping us out. Ron had to go back to work today and I was sad. I liked him being at home with us. Sydny went back to school on Monday and is having a great time seeing her friends.

I want to say thank you to my good friend Melanie who made us dinner and brought it over on Sunday. It was so yummy! And also to Paul who had welcome home signs and real milk and chocolate donuts for us in our house when we came home. You guys are the best!

Landon's cough has returned unfortunately. We took him to the doctor yesterday and he had a TB test, chest x-ray, blood work and a breathing treatment. The doctor said he is wheezing and might have bronchitis or maybe whooping cough. We will know more when we get the tests back. We have him on breathing treatments at home now 4 times a day along with some other medication. I am thankful we have a doctor who is taking action.

When we left the Marshall Islands last Wednesday, our lawyer, our coordinator, the family that wasn't leaving yet and Kiomi and Phillipo all came to the airport to say goodbye. It was nice to have all of them there. The airport is so small and so HOT and humid. It was a three hour ordeal but we made it through. We had a fun day in Hawaii and went to Waikiki beach and Sydny got to swim. We also went to CPK and ate wonderful food! We didn't take any pictures while in Hawaii but it was so pretty there.

I am going to go squeeze Landon now and give him lots of kisses.
