It’s been a long 24 hours for everyone, but a quick note here to say that all is well. Sherri and Peter arrived in JFK on time and Todd met them there, also right on schedule. Peter had a moment of hesitation when he first saw me (Todd), but it’s been nothing but ‘papa, papa, papa’ since. The layover in JFK was tough on everyone as Peter had lots of energy (sorry to everyone in the JFK Delta Crown Room from 15.00-19.00 yesterday). We made the mistake of allowing the toys and books in Peter’s room to be visible – after a couple hours of snoozing on the JFK-BNA plane, he was ready to play after arriving home at 22.30 last night. Then he woke up at 3.45 this morning – ready for more play time.
Peter has already made the initial trips to both Harris Teeter (with Sherri) and Home Depot (with Todd) and he seems perfectly OK with the entirely new experiences. Sherri picked Max up from Nana Giorgio’s house and the first face-to-face between Max and Peter was … completely uneventful. Peter has been very sweet and Max is struggling with the idea of sharing our attention with Peter.
I’ve just finished putting the eye bolts on all the doors (Peter can open the normally locked doors without a problem) while Sherri and Max get Target provisions. Peter’s napping. Everything is good, although we’re sleepy. But tune in tomorrow…

How exciting! The Giorgio family has been in my thoughts this weekend and I'm so glad all has gone well. Hope the Giorgio brothers get to visit VU/BME soon!

Congratulations! We adopted three boys from Kharkov last Christmas. We are just west of Knoxville.
It was definitely good to get back to TN.

PS I took our 4 year old to Home Depot when we got back and he had to go to the bathroom. Having three Ukes with me I got distracted and a second later he was sitting on the urinal!
Welcome home! God bless your continued journey bonding as a new family!
Can't wait to see some new family pictures.
