We're Home

Walked in the door shortly before midnight Friday night. It's good to be home and we're ready to start the hard work that is adjusting a baby to a 15 hour time change (not to mention the jetlag adjustment for all the rest of us!). Alex is still on Taiwan time. The rest of us are probably also still on Taiwan time, but are pretending to easily adjust.

The flight home was long, but not terribly difficult. China Airlines moved us to a bulkhead row upon checkin (thank you!!!!), which gave us floor space and a bassinet. Melinda slept quite a bit in the bassinet, and Alex stretched out on the floor at our feet. The rest of us didn't stretch out much, but we all managed to sleep some during the flight. The last couple of hours seemed endless. Then the New Immigrant line at customs was at a standstill. I thought we'd never get out of the San Francisco airport. We made it home just before midnight (after two stops on the way homen- one for formula and one for burgers).

I've got some 'home at last' photos but they're still in the camera...will post them soon.

Dear Lynne and Family,

Welcome home! So glad to hear that you were able to make it home from Taiwan before the big Typhoon. My prayers go out to your family for Melinda's adjustment and attachment as well as Alex's transition to big brother.

Best,
May
