Yesterday (Thursday) was a very, very long day. With our 2 flights and 5 hours worth of delays, we ended up sitting in airplane seats for over 18 hours. And that doesn't count the bus ride to the airport, the van ride home, and standing in lines for security, immigration, customs, etc. But we made it, and we are so happy to be home!
Lili was a real trooper. She did far better than I could have ever imagined she would. There were only a couple of meltdowns that got all the way to tears, and those were short-lived. Overall, she was cheerful and cooperative. The little TV's on the backs of the airplane seats were a real help. She chose a variety of shows to try. Some were rejected within a few minutes of beginning. There was only one show she chose to watch more than once - 9 1/2 times to be exact. Phineas and Ferb (in Chinese of course).
We all slept well last night, and the older kids stayed home from school today to spend time with their new sister. They're having a ball showing her around and entertaining her. It's so much fun to see them all together!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support! We could never have made it through this journey without all of you!!
