We made it to Dallas on Saturday September 20. Kailyn's birthday. She and her brother became American citizens. The plane rides were pretty uneventful. They all slept about two hours each the whole ride. We kept them awake and laid them to sleep in Dallas about 10:00 pm. They are all still sleeping as I write this post. It is around 6:30 in the morning. Our flight leaves Dallas at 1:10 and then we will be home at 1:50. So any one that wants to meet us at the airport, we will be there then.
Sorry for not posting. We did not have any internet access.
We almost missed the plane to Dallas. We arrived in Detroit at 6:00 pm and our flight left at 7:11. We went through customs and immigration and then rechecked the bags and then back through security. We ran all the way to our gate and they were announcing that they were closing the door just as we are coming down the moving sidewalk. I was waving and luckily the lady saw me and we just got on. We got a shuttle to the hotel and we were all in bed in about 40 minutes.
We are all a little tired. Kailyn was wonderful on the plane and Jacob did not get sick. Jaryd was a little apprehensive, but he had a pretty good day. He lost parts of a tooth on the plane from Amsterdam. I guess we will see the dentist soon.
That's all for now. Hope to see you all soon or talk to you real soon.
The first picture is of all the kids waiting for the plane in Kiev. The second is on the elevator as we touched down in Detroit.
Love you all
Kevin, Tammy, Jaryd, Jacob, Alyssa, and Kailyn

YAY!!! I am so excited for you to be home!! I have been thinking about you all week and wondering how you were doing! I am so happy you are almost home and doing good!
Praise the Lord! You are home...a new family and many adventures to come.
Plan on waking up in the middle of the night for a few days as you all adjust to the new time. Try to stay away until 9 if you can :)
Blessings to you all!!!
Congratulations on HOME! You either had a really bad McDonalds or were really stressed if that first one didn't taste great! McDonalds for breakfast...not a bad mom at all. It's called survival. But I can only imagine how not wonderful it was.
Please don't quit blogging now that you're home!! This is when the real journey begins. You'll find a tremendous support network through it, too.
Get some sleep, enjoy a long, hot shower, make sure your son knows the dentists in America are MUCH nicer than the ones in Ukraine (and that they have medicine to make it not hurt), and enjoy getting to know your new family.
Welcome home! I remember how good it felt to finally touch down on American soil. Absolutely overwhelming - I cried! Get some rest...and then post some more pics! I can't wait to hear how the homecoming goes.
Glad you made it home safe. What a great feeling it must be to be safely home with your new little family.
Congratulations! We are so excited that you have finally arrived in America! I pray that you will get some of the rest that you need now!!
