Home Sweet Home

Guangzhou

We made it home late last night. We were welcomed by sweet friends and a loving family! Funny thing was, AnnaBelle was fussing the last 15min of the flight from Houston and had done so well. And she went to sleep mid fit. Really she did. Everyone was waiting to see her sweet smile and she fell asleep right before we landed. I strapped her in the ergo and she stayed asleep while everyone greeted her with happy tears. She fussed about her carseat ride, first time until Dumas then fell asleep. We were weary travelers! It was about 30 hours home, 12 time zones, a stop in Tokyo and many meals on the airplane coming home. AnnaBelle was a peach on the 12 hour flight Tokyo to Houston. She was so good. She slept most of the long flight home. She is teething both bottom molars and those have really hurt her. Especially the pressure flying. We made it though! Natasha Nightengale was a huge help, she was my banker, my pack mule and great company to laugh with at the end of the day. So thankful for her being my travel companion. Oh yea and she was always hauling dirty diapers to the airplane "lavatory". Big thanks Tasha!! By yesterday AnnaBelle was saying "Tasha". Very sweet. Today was our first day at home. AnnaBelle and Joy played hard together. She gave Joy her first kiss. AnnaBelle had not kissed anyone until today. Then she started blowing kisses and waving bye bye. Melting your heart yet? She babbled to Joy through both meals and we just giggled. She made many messes with the refrigerator magnets and dumping things out.  It was so fun to watch her play and hear her giggle and smile.  The trip was long, it was long in country but it was worth ever bit! Watching the girls dance silly in their tutu skirts from Meemaw today was so sweet. I am so glad to be home with my family!  And Im thankful to live in the USA.
