We're HOME!

We are finally home and all together as a family of 6 (plus our 2 dogs)!
We flew out of Guangzhou at 2pm on the 22nd to fly to Hong Kong, where we caught our connecting flight home to Chicago at 6pm... It was such a LONG day, we saw the sun rise and set twice in one day! The flights went pretty well, Sarah Lu finally fell asleep and slept through most of the 14 hour flight, so that was very good! I don't think I slept more than about 1 hr total on the whole flight, Mom and Dad didn't get too much more either, but Sarah slept and that is what was most important! There were a bunch of other adoptive families on our flight and all of them were right around us, so that was really fun! Sarah loves seeing the babies, so she had fun too! The flight got pretty scary at one point, very very bad turbulence, I mean like stuff was rolling in the aisles and falling and all that. It was like that for about 20 minutes and that definitely scared us all! One the way of the plane we even heard one of the stewardesses saying how scared she was! But, we are all right now! It was SO nice to be able to fly right into Chicago O'Hare, which is not too far from our house...most of the other families on our flight had to catch connecting flights to all different places in the U.S... I felt so sorry for them, I would NOT have wanted to get on another flight! Anyway, we came HOME, which was SO awesome! I definitely missed my sisters and my dogs!! I loved our trip and it was awesome being there, but there really is no place like home! Chrissy and Rachael got to meet Sarah Lu when we came home and she warmed up to them SO quickly! She adores them both and has since she first met them!! She also LOVES her gou-gou's (dogs in Mandarin), Wesley and Lilly, and has since she first met them too! I was afraid that she might be scared of them or something, but she just loves them!
We are all having some trouble with the jet-lag, last night I didn't fall asleep until after 3am, and even then I wasn't tired, and then I am exhausted in the day and want to sleep. I think Sarah is adjusting to the time change better than the rest of us! Here are some pictures! Enjoy!
