Home again, home again - jiggity jig

This was our reception at the airport! You can't see it in the picture well, but their t-shirts spell out E L I A N A and say 'Welcome home.' It was so great!

This is Jenny's mom holding Eliana for the first time. This is her first grandchild.

These are Matt's parents with the baby. She is their first granddaughter.

This is Eliana's Tia, my best friend, Beth. She and her husband (my cousin), Ron, drove over 4 hours to meet us at the airport!

Me and my brother Pat. He's just a little bit excited to be an uncle.

Happy family! Poor E L I A N A was zonked. She was late (3 hours) getting to sleep because of traveling. When she did fall asleep she was OUT. She slept through her meet-n-greet with the family, all the way home, and until 8 o'clock this morning!

In the car, headed home!

Welcome home to our newest US citizen. Oh you are so lucky she slept. What a great reception! Noone met us, we were just happy that the limo driver was on time.
Those pictures made me cry! You are a beautiful family!

I can't believe how sweet Eliana is!She was tired when we met her, but still managed to grin a beautiful smile and gibber-jabber in that little voice. She is amazing. I think she already knows Mommy and Daddy well. She turns to their voices and gives them the best smiles. Her eyes are full of love for them. I thought I might burst watching them together! Precious!
I have no idea how I missed this post but i did...looks like a ROCK STAR homecomming...
