WE'RE HOME!

TOGETHER AT LAST!


Home Sweet Home!


It was a long journey, and its so good to finally bring our daughter HOME! I don't have many photos from our arrival (but lots of friends have, so they'll come soon!)
We had a pretty rough night, last night. I reckon I picked up Gastro, on the plane. I was in our bathroom from about 10pm-1am. Really, really nasty. To make matters worse. The kids wanted to sleep in Tiny's room. Which we thought would be ok... but she kept waking up, every hour or so, til about 10pm, so Mr T sat with her in the lounge room. Not sure if you remember... but Tiny isn't all that fond of Mr T ~ so ALOT of loud crying insued. Apparently, Todd was finally able to lay her in her cot, around 2am.
I've tried to download a movie, but it's not happening on my home computer, so I'll do it from our travel one, tomorrow. For now - here's a couple of snapshots from today!

YAY!!! Your family is finally united! I am so happy for all of you!

I am soooo sorry you were sick during the night. I was throwing up the night Briana got home (and the whole next day), so I feel your pain. Hope you feel better soon!

So happy to hear that you're home and LOVED the picture of ALL your children.....Together at last!

Sorry to hear about the bug you caught. The only good thing that can come from that kind of thing is a little weight loss. =)

So happy you are home safe and sound. Hope your case of gastro hits the road soon and you can all get well-rested and enjoy! Congrats to the new big brother and sister. It looks like they are quite won over with Tiny :0)

As for me, can't sleep to save my life because I will be meeting my girl in about 12 hours!!!!!

I am, however, VERY sorry to hear you were sick on the plane. OH BOY. I can only imagine what THAT was like. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!

PS- A parcel is in the mail for you, but it will take awhile, I'm afraid. You'd think you were in Australia or something.....;-)

Oh, I am so jealous that you got to love on your other kiddos! That's wonderful. I can't wait to be in your shoes, because I am missing my Hannah! However, I am also loving China and plan to enjoy my last two days here.

So sorry you were sick! Poor thing!!!
