Lucas and his family

A quick update--we got home (yea!!) yesterday afternoon. While in GT, we spent time with Luke's foster family, visiting the zoo, the archaeology museum and going out to eat. He loved the pool at the hotel. There were many other families there for their 'pick-up' trips, so it was nice to be able to meet them and hear their stories. The Marriott has a nice baby lounge, so there were always people there playing, calming, distracting, etc. Luke is definitely an observer, and was usually content to watch the others, only rarely getting into the mix playing.

Unfortunately, mama got sick yesterday, so was little help to dad on the trip home. Today I am feeling a little better, but still not terribly energetic. We are hoping no one else gets the GI bug.

Luke has definitely been a daddy's boy. If he has the choice, he'll head to dad. Several families commented that they were having the same experience. Perhaps it's because they were all so close to their FM. It hasn't really been too bad since we've gotten home. It will be nice to just be here and start getting into a routine. He is kind of out of sorts with the travel, early mornings, moving to another country:), etc. But all in all, about what we expected.

I'm off to hydrate...
