Strong requests to hear about our transition have encouraged me to continue blogging. Sadly our previous blog site is part of a website which we pay for monthly and would like to stop so I have been seeking a free blog site that is easy to use. Surprisingly, this was not an easy task. Here, I have found blogspot which seems to be easier than most, although it does not seem to have all the entities I was looking for.
In any case, here I blog.
We have been home now just over 2 weeks and life is different. We were greeting with a heroes welcome at the Orlando International Airport on October 24, 2012. We could have asked for a better group of people to be there waiting for us! I don' think Erik knew what to think.
Upon arriving home he met his pets and was introduced to his bedroom. We gave him a quick tour of the house but he was excited to see his toys and his bed. It wasn't long before we all needed to head off to bed and say good night to the 31 hour day.
Since that monumental night, Erik has become quite comfortable. He has grown attatched to our friends and family and was welcomed to America in the best way a child could... with Halloween! He dressed as Iron Man when his Captain America costume was too small to wear anything under on the cold night.
This week Erik had three big milestones. #1. He started school and so far he loves it and his teacher said he is doing well. #2. He attended his first ever Hockey Game. And #3. He started saying prayers in English. The verbage is basic and simple but he is trying.
Paul has gone back to work and I go back on the 17th and we expect at that point we will see some behavior difficulties.
I will be blogging weekly for you with the events going on in our new lives. This will also be a blog to speak for those still seeking their families.
