We're Back!

So we're safely in the USA as of 24 hours ago. We left where we were staying in Vienna yesterday morning at 8 a.m. Vienna time, and landed in Indianapolis at 3 a.m. Saturday morning Vienna time. Whew! It was a great day, though. Our flights were great, including Cole! I was nervous about the 10 hour flight from Vienna to Chicago, but Cole proved my nervousness unnecessary. He ate the airplane food, played with all the toys and books we brought, and charmed the people sitting around us and flight attendants. They all were jealous of his eyelashes! They're really really long :). Really, he was a great little traveler. He didn't even notice take off or landing on either flight. We think it's because he was so used to being on public transportation in Vienna that the noises and movement didn't really phase him.
We are thankful to be back in the USA. We went swimming and played outside today. What a blessing to have a yard and a driveway to play in, and even a little red wagon to ride in. WOW! Cole has been playing with the same few toys for the past 3 weeks or so, so being at Omi and GrandBob's house is a breath of fresh air for all of us.
We will start looking for a house on Monday with a realtor in Bloomington, and Chris has a job interview at Indiana University on Tuesday, so we're starting off right away. Ever since we started packing our Vienna apartment months ago, I've been longing for a place with no boxes and that I can call home. I hope we find it soon!
