2 weeks at home

It has been 2 weeks since we have been home. We are growing together as a family and having fun with the adjustments and the joys.

We went to a family reunion today. We told the boys that they would be able to meet their Grandma Hinkson (babuska) and some cousins and aunts and uncles. We told them that some people may hug and kiss them and they said "no" and started practicing their self defense moves. We were worried how these introductions may turn out but they turned out fine and most everyone on the Hinkson side got to meet our new boys.

At the reunion the boys had a blast playing the Wii, soccor, basketball and eating chips and hotdogs on hamburger buns (their own creation of the day :) On the way home we stopped at Lagoon for 1 ride as a little break.

One cute thing today was watching Vitaly bond with Blake and James. Tyler explained to him that they are his nephews and he is their uncle. He took this seriously and I kept catching him playing with them and enjoying his unclehood.

We have almost recovered from Ukraine. I spent the week at girls camp and came home very dirty but I felt less dirty than I did in Ukraine. It is so good to be home and helping the boys adjust to our culture.
