Home from China

I tink i em stuffering fum jed wag...

31 hours of travel. Ugh... But Kaylee did GREAT. She travels like a champ! Perhaps she is destined to be a pilot one day. :-)

At approximately 10:00pm last night I had the pleasure of saying "Welcome to America" to little Kaylee as we touched down in San Francisco. At approximately 10:00am this morning I had the pleasure of saying "Welcome Home" to little Kaylee as we arrived at our house in Raleigh.

What an amazing journey...

I have been following your blog since December, thanks for sharing, your journey has been amazing!! We are DTC this month!! We should travel this fall. Kaylee is beautiful.
I would be interested to know if there was something that you did not have available in China that you wish you would have. WELCOME HOME!!

Thanks everyone! Little girl Kaylee already has me wrapped. :-)

Valerie, Congratulations on being DTC! That's awesome! My wife and I are working on a list of "must have" items to bring to China. Hopefully in the next week or two we will get it posted while it is still fresh in our minds. Preparing for travel was very stressful. And we worried that we would forget something very important. But we didn't. And we were extremely thankful that we brought a few "must have" items.
