Yana's Here!
Yana has arrived! We did our normal
airport routine yesterday to pick up Yana.
First, we had set up for two or three of her classmates to come meet her
with us and we had signs ready. Then we
downloaded and tracked her flight using the flight aware app. When her flight landed we started the very
awkward process of standing at the bottom of the escalators with our signs…
watching every other passenger read our sign and some even dance and say they
were Yana. And we waited… then there she
was! Immediately greeting each other
with welcomes and hugs! Then we got
baggage and headed off! On the way home
we stopped by to show her the school she will attend and then went to have a
late lunch. Once we arrived home she
gave us some wonderful things she had brought us from home and from her
family. Candies, tablecloth, towels,
book, seasonings and more. So sweet! We gave her
the welcome basket and snacks that we had gotten for her. After a nap and letting her settle in we took
her to meet Chad’s sister and her family including our nephews and new
niece. Yana brought candy for the boys
and a beautiful Ukrainian outfit for baby Macie! After one more stop to get a Sonic milkshake
we settled in to get some sleep.
I really think she likes her room and she seems super sweet! Chad and Yana spent the day together today
while I attended summer conference for work. I did receive a hilarious video of
her trying to repeat a Southern phrase Chad said. I’ll attach it and ya’ll can try to guess the
real phrase he was teaching her. Also
attaching pictures of her room and first day!
Welcome to the family Yana!
