The Journey Home

We've been gone for a while because we are home and all is going so great here. I will update to complete our trip for those who want to see how we end up. The following pictures are from the trip home and our first meeting with our family at the airport. Noelle was such a good traveler. She slept a lot, never got fussy and just went with the flow. We had long layovers and long flights but it was no problem for her. We shopped at the duty free shops and had lunch at Pizza Hut. And of course everyone that met her was mesmerized by her cuteness and friendly personality. Ying Ying, our flight attendant on the long Beijing-Newark flight was able to get the seat next to me freed up and we were able to prop Noelle up with 15 pillows and blankets and she slept for 7 straight hours I took a picture of that. I thought we'd sleep on the final flight to Tampa 8:30--11:20 pm. Noelle slept on my lap that whole flight did but I was so excited to see everyone waiting for me that I felt as if I'd just had 12 cups of coffee instead of 27 hours of travel under my belt. You may see that in the other pic from the plane where she is almost asleep on me. I'm exhausted but so excited to be home with the family!!!
I will update more over the weekend with Noelle's first week home. She's been to the fields, the boys school, Starbucks, Panera, and shopping at the mall and a few stores.
IT IS SO GREAT TO BE HOME :)
