As we arrived at the airport in Boston, bringing our new daughter home, I worried. I hadn’t seen Kylor and Madi in two whole weeks. How was I to properly greet them, each of course running towards me, with only one arm available as I held Isabella in the other? How do you love three with two arms? I hadn’t figured it out.
I needn’t have worried after all. It was a memorable welcome home, much more amazing than I ever could have imagined. You see, the rush was not towards me after all… it was to their sister.
I don’t believe in “perfect”, but this is as good as it gets.
THIS IS LOVE 
In Russia we introduced pictures of Kylor and Madeline
“Isabella, this is your brother and sister.”
“Kiss”

Forgive me if:
- my shirt isn’t as clean as when I put in on this morning, baby goop happens quick!
- I look extra tired, 5am comes quite early
- I haven’t had time for a shower today and looked rumpled
- I’ve not sent you a card on time or at all
- I’m still drinking the same cup of coffee all day
- I’m not able to volunteer as much
- I seem to only get one errand done a day
- when you’re talking, I only hear about 1/3 of what you say
- I don’t say excuse me before leaving the phone conversation to prevent injury or just to stop a fight
- the house isn’t as clean
- my car now smells kinda funny, we’re still investigating
- you don’t hear from me as often
- I don’t blog as much as I should
- I’m not letting you know I’m thinking of you, I really am
- I keep meaning to get to all my phone calls but never seem to
- my holiday cards don’t go out on time (why did I decide to craft them myself?)
- I can’t keep up
But I’ve just had a baby, and she’s simply adorable and fun to play with, and she sings to me and smiles and we know each other so well already you see, we’re best of friends … and well, that’s what I’m doing instead!
I’m in Heaven!
