The next morning was a doozie. 2:00am does not come easy for any of us...no matter how awesome your traveling bag is.
Our stop in Amsterdam was short, but we were so glad to have some time out of the planes and airports and to introduce Nico to some of his first family members. :) He was shy at first, but it didn't take long for him to warm up to Chris and Julie. So beautiful! We enjoyed dinner and a restful night at then it was off to the airport again.
Nico did great on the flight home. We had a whole row to ourselves which meant there was room for sleeping and some goofing off, including a pillow fight.
Nico really enjoyed finding new goodies in his backpack.
He took a picture of this one himself. I think he's equally proud of his monster truck AND his chapstick.
It was so, so good to touch ground in Albuquerque! By the time we got home around 11pm Nico wasn't sure if it was bedtime or time to get up! The first thing that caught his eye was his little bike. He started riding it all around. It was even the first thing he wanted when he woke up this morning (at 3am!). We have some jet lag to conquer I guess...
Overall we feel SO blessed how well Nico is adjusting. We are hopeful that he will continue to feel at home in our family! He is such a gift and we can't wait to learn more and more about his sweet little personality. We are hoping to continue updating our blog as often as we can. Especially for our family to see how Nico is learning and growing. Love you all so much! We thank God for all of you and for your incredible love and support throughout this whole process!
Clint, Jo and Nico
