Home at Last!!!

We now have been home two weeks...and it's been a wonderful whirlwind!!!


I want all of this down so I won't ever forget...(like that's possible)....


We left early that morning from Hong Kong...got on a bus, rode to the train station, rode a twenty minute high speed train.....then a 16 hour flight to Newark, New Jersey, then an hour and half flight to Charlotte!! Over 24 hours of travel !!!!

Doesn't all of that sound fun!!!


We were happy to do it though...every mile, every hour we were one step closer to home, to our boys. We were ready to be all together...a family of 5!!!!


Olivia Grace was such a trooper....she did amazing...as long as we had Chinese crackers!!!

The girl is an eater!!


When we landed in New Jersey, Olivia Grace became a United States citizen!!


When we got off the plane in Charlotte, we almost ran through the airport!!


Our family was waiting with gifts for Olivia and signs welcoming her home!! It was such a great and special homecoming for Olivia Grace!! And it was amazing seeing the boys!!


They have been the best big brothers!! Here are some pics since we have been home!!







Chris was in charge of the camera...so we have very few pics....lol

He said he got too caught up in "the moment"!!!!

but we do have it on video...when i figure out how to add video I will post that...


While we were gone our boys were well taken care of.... Mama, Phyllis, Mawmaw, Aunt Mildred, Kylie, Elizabeth and Sheila!!! The boys were happy and busy!!!! I thank y'all for taking such good care of the boys...


At the airport, my Aunt Phyllis brought country ham biscuits, homemade Mac n cheese, brownies, and diet sun drop!!! God bless her!!!! Chris said she is definitely his most favorite person in the world now!!! She's always been one of mine!!


This is the boys Kung Fu outfits from China...I think they like them!!!


See Ben looking at Livy!! They adore her!!!


When we first got home from the airport, we put her on the middle of the bed and they surrounded her....

She looked like "What in the world is happening...who are those little people..."


This was made by my neighbor and friend Angela...


When we got home, my house had been cleaned, clothes and closets organized, refrigerator stocked, and a big pink bow on the mailbox!!


The support we have received is unbelievable...my next post will be soon and includes these past few weeks happenings!!!



I love you all!!!
