Our arrival home !

So we are on the plane..... Marika is still sleeping on my laps and I still can't believe that the day has arrived that we will soon be landing 2 minutes from our house and see all of our friends and family.. It felt like I was dreaming..... Marika was snoring when we landed and didn't even blink... Karelle was also not waking up even when everyone was getting off the plane....

My knees were weak, we were standing there with both girls sleeping in our arms... Berthe handing all the carry ons (sight to see)..... and trying to figure out who was going to go out first... Pierre did and well I will never forget the feeling of hearing all the familiar voices and many hugs and tears that happened and the signs that were made in our honor for us to save for the girls, the balloons.. it was truly one of those moments that are engraved in your memory for life..... We feel soo blessed to have such supporting friends and family and soo many people in our lives that were kind enough to be at the airport late on a Saturday night to welcome us home..... No one will ever know how much it meant to us to see everyone there....

After almost 700 days, we were home... our girls were with us and life just felt perfect....





Karelle NEVER woke up through the whole thing and was sooo confortably sleeping in daddy's arms...



Marika took a few minutes to wake up and needed to pee, so we went to the bathroom and then she was having a party with all the balloons and eating a sucker and even laughing and giggling... what a trooper... I was sure she would be anxious with all the people around but she was not at all ! She loves to get attention so she seemed happy that everyone was watching her play with her ballons and taking pictures as she loves cameras !








It was the greatest feeling that night to arrive home and to see the girls sleeping peacefully in their cribs in OUR home...... such emotions, such joy we were feeling...hard to describe in words....
