We're Home!

Hi friends and family,
We are home and settling in. The time change is still kicking our behinds, and Spud is keeping us hopping! I'll just manage to get some pictures uploaded here -- I know that's all you really want anyway! Enjoy.


This is Spud on the first day we met him. We went to relax in a beautiful garden by the Ghion Hotel.


Spud checked us out thoroughly and decided we'd do.


This is the first night he was allowed to spend the night with us. Everything went great.


Here we are ready for church!


And here's Spud charming his mama.

Beautiful brothers just hanging out.


Spud can be VERY silly!


Everyone needs a nakey baby picture on their blog.


Finally, daddy and Racer showed up. Spud was thrilled (and so was mama.)


WMWM is such a hottie -- and he carries the diaper bag too!


The boys taking a stroll.


Aren't I precious?


Spud is enjoying the cake served at the HOH 1st anniversary celebration.


This is us with Ephrim, our driver, at a museum.

This is a random picture of Tater's tongue that he took himself. He is quite proud of it.

Dad and Spud enjoying suckers together.


Spud's first experience in a swimming pool.


Hey, he likes it!


He warmed up to Racer pretty quickly.

She's a great big sister.


Racer participated in her first coffee ceremony. Will she love coffee like her mama?


Not so much!


Spud in his PJs ready for the plan trip home.


And here he is - home and already playing with Grandpa . . .


. . . and Meemaw . . .


. . . and Grandpa T . . .


. . . and Grammie!


Hope you enjoyed our pictures.

Peace.

Congratulations! I remember little Spud when we went and picked up Lucy. Such a sweet boy.
It's crazy about the orange soda, isn't it? Did they feed Spud popcorn? Lucy will punch you for popcorn.
All the best on your homecoming!
