Welcome home

We landed in Detroit on Wednesday March 5th at 1pm (and Ruthie is now a US citizen), after going through customs and being greeting by some great friends (Jack, Gina and Jackson) we made it home for 30 minutes before we had to take Craig to the doctor, he hadn't been able to keep anything down for 2 days. He did manage to keep water down for the last 12 hours (after throwing up in the airports in China and Japan) doc says a virus and he just ate mac and cheese for the first time in 2 weeks (it's 4am) and is on the mend although he did lose 4 pounds. It is great to be home, every moment is something new for Ruth, she is not sure what to make of the cats yet. We go today to fill out insurance paperwork so that we can take her to the doctors to have her all checked out. She has been up since 1am, eating cereal, applesauce and a bottle and she is not looking tired yet, we will all be praying for a nap today. We thank all of you that followed our story, there are so many more stories and photos we will have to share with all of you (most of you remember me always carring around a photo album of Craig).
I will continue to post on here as things come to me or new photos I think you must see.

Bob, Jessie, Craig and Ruth Douponce and Kara Giummo (our technical advisor and big helper with the trip)
