We're Home!!!

We made it home last night.  Max was a real trooper yesterday, he woke up at 6 AM in Moscow and stayed awake until we landed in JFK, about nineteen hours later.   He kept himself and a lot of people around him up during the flight.  It's a good thing he's cute!  At 5:35 PM last night, Max became a United States citizen! 

Then it was home to a welcome celebration which he slept thru.  Oh well, we'll have to do another one with him in it.  He woke up a few times during the night and has been up for several hours now, he's still on Moscow time and he's a bit cranky today.  It will take him a while to adjust to the time change and all of the other changes in his new life.  I'll keep you posted.
