Home Sweet Home
No photos tonight since I have no idea which bag the camera cable is in, sorry! We arrived safe and sound and on time tonight although we had a crazy day, but in the end all worked out as it was supposed to. We were met at the airport by a great gathering of family and some good friends as well. It was so beautiful to see so much of Gabriela's new family there waiting for her and for us.
The family then helped us get all of our bags back to the house, which is strange to see after so long by the way; and a hot dinner was waiting for us. Everyone was so excited to finally meet Gabriela and it was a lot of fun to see her with her cousins especially. Thank you to everyone for doing so much for us while we have been gone and for the amazing welcome home.
The day stared at 4:30am to get to the airport 3 hours before our scheduled 9:25 flight. Unfortunately, we were told that the flight had been canceled due to problems with the plane. The nice people at American Airlines helped us transfer our ticket to Miami to a big Colombian airline, Avianca; however this flight was scheduled to arrive in Miami an hour later than our previous flight leaving a very short time for Immigration and Customs. I'm still not quiet sure just how we made our connection in Miami, but we did!
Gabriela was really very good on both flights, sleeping for the firt half of each flight and playing most of the 2nd half. She did get a bit bored at the end of the 2nd flight but wasn't too fussy as long as we tried to entertainer her. Monica is now feeling a bit under the weather and I'm feeling pretty run down myself. So on that note, I'm going to stop blogging and go to bed.
By the way, Gabriela is sound asleep right now in her own crib in her own room and our dog (Zuny) is sleeping outside her door.... Life is Good!!!!!

Welcome back!!! I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet you all at the airport, but I was definitely thinking of you. I can't wait to pay you a visit and meet your precious angel in person.
