Finding our New Norm

We have now been home for 5 and half weeks. The memories of our journey are still so fresh it seems hard to believe its been that long; on the other hand, we have been wide open from Sunday morning August 8th when family and friends started coming by to meet our new princess.

Katherine and I have been overwhelmed by the out pouring of love and acts of kindness since our return. Perhaps this is why it seems we have been home longer than we actually have. Kirby has been truly amazing in her adjusting to all of the changes in her short little life. Simple things like new smells, language, air conditioning, a mom and dad, 2 Jack Russell's, car seat, hardwood floors, big people, a large extended family and more love than any one little girl may have ever received.

Here are some photos from the last several weeks since we've been home:
