Coming Home & couldn't be HAPPIER:)
This is going to be short and sweet! WE MADE IT!! The flight was grueling and horrible to be blatantly honest. I cried at least 4 times on the various planes. I have never been closer to insanity. She slept about 2 or 3 hours of 30....I slept less. She was constantly moving the ENTIRE time and does not like to watch tv or anything. BUT, WE MADE IT! We had a bazillion friends and family meet us for a loving welcome at the airport (and I will post that pic later, as I do not have any on my camera). I have never been happier to see those familiar faces...especially my Max and Lucy!!!! Alice looked like and angel and didn't quite know what to think, but loosened up in a matter of minutes...Regan and her family came to visit last night and I looked like a hag, but there is our picture on here anyway (that is for Amy and Andrea:) Night night all....

Don't you wish you knew what Alice was thinking on that long plane ride? I remember feeling so helpless because even if I could explain it to YouYou in Mandarin...how could a 2.5 year old understand how long the plane ride was going to be, etc. I also remember wondering what YouYou was really thinking when we got home. I figured she just thought it was another hotel room since we had been in 3 different ones w/ her at that point.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have made it to the airport Sunday but I had a sick hubby and child. It sounds like you had a grand welcoming though! That is wonderful!
Welcome Home!
if that is hag then you disgust me! HA HA...you look fine. Our flight home wasn't the best either but not as bad as yours! Maran cried a few times on it and it was horrible. I have come to tears more times since being home though. SO GLAD you are back and can't wait to hear the stories. Seeing Max and Lucy just helps the 'EXHAUSTION' go away...well until they want or need something. Wanted to call today but you are such a popular lady I decided to leave you alone! May send you an e mail later for whenever you wish to read. Hugs my dear... Sweet Dreams! Ann
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it home safely and I loved seeing your smiling face in your own home! Sorry I could not make it to the airport, Emma has been a little under the weather this weekend. I am so glad you had a 'grand' welcoming home. :0) The plane rides are tough for sure. I don't think there is anything we could do to prepare these little ones, it just is exhausting. So happy to see you home and smiling!! And the Walmart trip - now I know you are more than amazing!! :0)
