February 3, 2013 -- Our Forever Family

I am sure you all are wondering just how our precious Grayson is doing on his first day home. :)  Even though he was exhausted, he didn't sleep through the night.  Now I have to say that we were not surprised do to that fact that he is still on Taiwan time which is 13 hours ahead.  It couldn't be more opposite :)  He slept about 1 hour total last night.  Matt and I switched in the middle of the night to take care of him.  Of course he is so adorable we didn't mind being with him.  Matt gave him an official tour of our house about 5am this morning pointing out every room and its contents :)  I thought it was pretty cute myself.  
We had some visitors today too!!  It was so fun to have family getting to know our Grayson.  He slept most of the day, but I don't think anyone minded holding him while he slept.  
It has been strange to be home, back in our home environment.   Eating american food, smelling our "home" smells, hearing so much English, unpacking, and so much more has been so different!  I didn't realize how many things would affect us.   But there is no place like home.  I have had a little time to "reflect" on the the last 24 hours and teared up many times today (especially catching up on fb)!  I cannot believe how many amazing family and friends God has blessed us with.  Not gonna lie - I was a little over-whelmed walking into the airport :)  But it was a "good" overhwhelming"ness".  I couldn't  believe all the signs, hugs, tears, pictures, family, friends, cheering, and smiles we were welcomed with :)  Our hearts are over-joyed today at the love we have been shown.  Thank you.
