justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Addison was waiting with her uncle, standing on a bench to get a better view. When she finally spotted them she jumped off and ran full speed at them. "Mama!" she shrieked as she crashed into Sarah and wrapped her arms tightly around her legs. Liora, who had slept the last 4 hours of the flight and the entire time they were going through customs, woke up with a jolt and glanced around, looking a bit shell shocked as she tried to figure out where she was. Peter walked next to Ahuva, making sure she made her way through the airport safely. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Sarah squatted down and kept Liora on her hip. "Hi baby!" She said wrapping an arm around her daughter. "This is Liora, remember her from the pictures?" She said smiling. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 "Hi Liora!" Addison squealed excitedly, causing the toddler to cringe and turn away. Addison was undaunted, though. After giving her mom a quick hug she scurried over to Ahuva. "An' you're Ah...ah ha...Ahuva?" she asked the older girl, stumbling over her name a bit. "Thanks so much for watching her," Peter said to John. "I know how upset she was the night we left. I hope she wasn't too much trouble after that." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Sarah tried to comfort Liora by rubbing her back and bouncing her a bit. She hoped the girl would be alright. She dug through her purse and handed her her bunny which had fallen on the plane, she hoped it would comfort her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Liora took the bunny and relaxed as she started waking up more though the hustle and bustle of the airport was a bit overwhelming. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Sarah tried to comfort Liora but knew they should get going as it was pretty late in Israel. "Yes sweetie. Your presents are in one of the bags." She said, having gotten Addie both a teddy bear with a blue hoodie with the Israeli flag on it, and a patch with the flag as well since wherever they went, they got her a sew on patch for her backpack. "Do you have something for your sisters?" She asked, reminding the girl. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 "That's good. I wasn't sure how she'd be, since we've never left her overnight, but she was pretty excited about getting to stay with you." "Oh yeah!" Addie ran back to her uncle and grabbed two large gift bags. She thrust one, containing an Americal Girl doll, at Ahuva. She held the other up to Liora. It was a pastel tie dye teddy from Build A Bear. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 "It certainly was different for me!" John laughed, used to his quiet life with just him and his wife. "But we had fun." Sarah smiled and took the teddy bear out and gave it to Liora. "This is from your new sister, Addie." She said, unsure how much the girl understood. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Liora grabbed the best and squeezed it. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 "Okay girls I think we better get going. I know it's not that late right now, but back in Israel it's nearly 1 AM." Sarah said happy the girls seemed to be getting along. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Addison walked - or, rather, skipped - next to Ahuva, talking the poor girl's ear off telling her all about their house and her friends who, she assured Ahuva, would be her friends too. It never dawned on her that Ahuva probably didn't understand most of what she said. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 John carried quite a few of the suitcases to the van and helped load it. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Addie frowned. "Mama, I want you to sit with me," she whined as she got in the back. She wasn't used to having to sit way back there and wasn't thrilled about it. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 "Honey I'm sorry. I have to be by Liora because right now I seem to be the one ah trusts, and it's too hard for Ahuva to climb back there." Sarah said, hoping to avoid a tantrum. "It won't be long until we're home honey can you just please sit there just for today?" "I sit there." Ahuva offered, seeing Addie get upset. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 "Yeah, I guess so," Addie said, though she sulked about it. "No, you stay where you are," Peter said to Ahuva, knowing her crutches and prosthetics would make it hard for her to get in the back. "It's only a short drive home so everyone just calm down." He shot a warning glance at Addie before getting up front with his brother. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 "We'll be home before you know it." Sarah said to everyone really. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 "Come on, it's up here," Addie said, taking the bag from her new sister. Peter started bringing bags in with John, but, seeing Addie and Ahuva going upstairs, dropped what her was doing to follow them closely. He was nervous about Ahuva managing the stairs on her own, especially when she was tired. Liora gazed in wide-eyed wonder at her room, filled with dolls, stuffed animals, and toys with a rocking chair in the corner next to a bookshelf lined with books. She immediately went and grabbed some books and brought them back to Sarah. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Ahuva yawned, but slowly climbed the stairs. It took her a while to climb each one, and by the time she was at the top, she was even more exhausted than she was before, almost falling backwards. Sarah and Peter had thought that the two older girls would be able to share a room rather than the two youngest. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Liora happily settled into Sarah's lap, sucking her thumb. She loved being read to and looking at the pictures. It didn't matter to her one bit that she didn't understand a single word. "Careful," Peter said, placing a hand in Ahuva's back and gently guiding her away from the stairs. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Sarah smiled and read the stories to her happily until she herself was quite tired. "Want to sleep?" She asked Liora, pointing to the crib across the room. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Liora nodded sleepily at Sarah. Her eyelids were already starting to droop. "Look! This is our room! Mommy and daddy got us bunk beds. Mine is on top, and yours is on the bottom. That's just an old quilt on there now, mommy said we can pick out new ones and decide what color we want to paint the walls. Isn't that cool?" Addie said excitedly, talking a bit too fast, as usual.

justagirl4fun Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Liora fell asleep quickly, being used to falling asleep all alone. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ahuva continued to smile and nod, not wanting to be impolite. Everything was really pretty, she just didn't know what her sister was saying. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 "Good. Addie is showing Ahuva around, though you know how Addie gets when she's excited. That poor girl's head is probably spinning." Link to comment
