I wish I knew what was going through his mind sometimes. This little guy went from a life having never left the orphanage to being adopted by us riding cars, buses, subways, trains, and now a plane.
The plane wasn't there yet, so he gave us his little (fake) pouty face. It's so cute.
Yeah! The plane arrived. He did great! He is such a trooper! The first flight was 15 hours and the second was 2 hours. He started throwing up 30 minutes into the first flight and every time we hit turbulence. Poor little guy. We were about 25 minutes from landing when he asked if we could go home. He never cried or complained.
First steps on U.S. soil! Welcome to America to our newest addition and newest U.S. citizen! We just had to get his picture when we got off the plane...and how appropriate...a store called Hudson News and one called America. Welcome home Hudson Michael Sheddan!
True to his style...posing for pictures :)
We had to start things off right with a meal at Chic-fil-A :) I love this picture. Brett and Josh at age 13, Hudson at age 5, and Granddad.

Lauren and Katherine hanging out with cousin Ashley (who just had knee surgery the day before).
This guy fell in love with Aunt Kim right away. Every time we would walk into her house or go anywhere knew, he would call out for "Ayi" So sweet.
Mammy and Hudson
Meeting Ryan for the first time...for all of us. He was born after we went moved. They seemed to like each other.
These sweet girls have so much fun together.
Hanging out with Michael and Shelby and their families
This guy is so silly. He hid every time I tried to take his picture with granddad and thought it was just so funny. I'm sure he would have stopped sooner if we would stop laughing at him, but he is just so cute. it's hard not to. :)
Granddad and Hudson
Playing catch in the back yard. He has a decent little arm. I was impressed.

Hudson's first photo bomb. Haha! He knew exactly what he was doing and thought it was hilarious.
