Back by Popular Demand

So many people thought we were still on the long layover in Los Angeles, I thought I should at least let everyone know we made it home. We arrived in Savannah, GA on Thursday, July 26 at 5:00. We were so happy to see everyone and be at home. The meeting in the airport with J.R. and James was so emotional, I don't think I will ever forget it. I think the next time we go to Vietnam it will be as a family. Last night after the boys went to bed, I went in to check on J.R. because he was coughing. As he was laying there awake, I leaned over to tell him I loved him and that I was glad he was my son. He put his arms around my neck and he said, " Daddy, I'm glad you came home." Enough said, and If I leave him for that long again, you can rest assured that it wasn't my choice
.

Baby Jett is doing good. He had made some real progress on sleeping at night, but he's really regressed in the last few days. He acted like he was sick yesterday, so maybe that is the explanation. He loves the boys, and has begun to feel comfortable with getting down and playing with them in the last few days. He is really attached to DeanAnne and prefers that she hold him, especially in situations when a lot of people are around. He's mostly a happy and good natured child, but he struggles at times with maintaining his usually outgoing attitude like most 1 year olds do. We are really happy to have him here with us and we look forward to what each new day brings. Thanks to each of you for following along and lending support during this very rewarding time of our lives.
Here is a picture of Jett's first haircut.
And here is the first swimming trip. Jett liked it, but I think the boys had the most fun.

Finally, I have been checking everyday to see how its going to end and the suspense was killing me. On to reality, I'm glad ya'll are home and everyone's doing fine. Hope Jett is adjusting better. Audra and the girls said he was the cutest thing they had ever seen. I feel sorry for Deananne though having to carry him all the time. I did see in one of thoses pictures that she was wearing one of those papoose things,maybe she can wear this to work and take jett like a mother kangaroo. (ha,ha)....
sorry I didn't get to come by but we will try to make plans to get back soon. Lotsa love the whole Kelly family.
