They're home!

Wendy and Kolya landed safely in Denver late Thursday afternoon. Joe was not able to get a picture of the arrival because they zipped through passport control and customs so fast that they were through just as Joe and Elizabeth arrived at the airport (the secret reason for no picture is that Joe was so excited at their arrival that he neglected to bring a camera).

Upon arrival, Kolya was immediately joined by kids from the neighborhood. They played in the cul-d-sac with Kolya's new remote control SUVs, and then headed up to the park to play baseball with his new glove.

We will post more details once Wendy has had a chance to catch her breath and sit down to blog her thoughts. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers through our process.

Bummer about the camera. What a great welcome for Kolya to be reuntied with all the kids from the neighborhood, that has got to make him feel so at home.
We are very thankful it is done and you are all home!
Love,
Aimee & Matt

Dear Hickman Family,

We are so glad Wendy and Kolya are home! Amazing to hear that after the long flight and jet-lag that he runs out and plays! I'll bet Wendy is happy for A/C, American food, and plenty of ice in her drinks!

Congratulations your new son and a job well done over there!
