We are HOME!!

We made it ... finally! We left Guangzhou at 8:20 a.m. on August 2 and arrived in Portland at about 8:20 a.m. on August 2. We lost a whole day in there somewhere but we are glad we did because what a day! We really needed a do-over!

Sarah had a horrible time on the flight from Tokyo to Portland. We spent the majority of the flight gingerly holding her so the screaming would stop and not start again. I think the people around us were glad the flight ended - so were we! She did great on the flight from Portland home - she slept the whole time. Brent however, did not fare so well - he is nauseous and sick. My ankles are enormous and hurt from not walking enough on the 9 hour flight.

But what a wonderful welcome - my parents, my sister and niece, Brent's parents and his brother and his family and MY BABIES! As soon as I saw them I started crying - man I missed them! Not talking to or seeing your kids for 2 weeks is torture.

We made it home with only a little crying because Sarah has never been in a carseat. The kids love her! She isn't so sure about them yet but I thought I saw a smile tonight when Brandon was copying her.

I'll try to post pictures of the 3 of them tomorrow.Hopefully everyone will sleep well tonight - I can not wait to get into my own bed!!

Sarah is still really congested and not feeling well. Brent has to go to his Human Resources Department on Monday to make some changes (they have Hannah's birthdate wrong even though we thought we changed it earlier in the year and fixed the problem) and we need to add Sarah. I hope they do it quickly so I can have her be seen. I'm a little afraid it is going to her chest.
