Homecoming Brain Dump

Too many thoughts to logically put them together, so just going to go for the easy bullet post this round. I will hopefully explain some of the pics too :) We spent our last night in China with our new friends at the Banana Leaf for one last Chinese meal. It was alot of fun!

Then we ended the night with foot massages for everyone-even Shelby.


It was a very long long commute home, but we all survived.


I would highly recommend anyone to fly with Korean Air-they rocked. We even scored bulkhead seating on our long flight home again!


I would also highly recommend that anyone coming home from China take the midnight flight home. Amazingly our jet lag is next to none.


We had a very nice homecoming crowd at the airport. Kim and Michael thought of everything including our Diet Coke and Mt.Dew :) It was SO nice to see the folks who supported us through our journey welcoming us home!


The boys are totally in love with their new sister. I feel complete again to have all my kiddos under my roof, together forever.


We are getting back to normal at home. We even made it to church yesterday. Again our jetlag is very minimal right now-YEAH for us :)

Been thinking of you all day! Wondering how you were doing! SO happy to know everything is going well. Can't believe jet lag is going so well!!! Wish we could have been at the airport too!!! Can't wait to hear all your advice for us!

Glad you are home and can start the next phase of your adoption journey with Elise!!

And I totally agree with the night time flights in each direction. It helps immensely!!!

Lucky you, not having jet lag! Just this weekend I was reading ways to reduce it, and one of them was to fly West instead of East. Hope it continues.

Congratulations! Welcome home!! All the kids look great and I'm so glad you don't have jet lag!! Isn't good old American fast food and soda great after 2 weeks in China?

Thanks for sharing your joy!
