We Made It Home!


Touch Down!

(We had to touch Lily's feet on U.S. soil to make it official! )


After what seemed like two eternities, we finally made it home to California. Lily did great on our flight from Guangzhou to Tokyo (4.5 hrs). She took a nap and played the whole time. On the flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles she stayed awake for the first 5 hours (flight total hrs 9.5). We had to get pretty creative to keep her entertained and quiet. We had brought some toys but she didn't seem interested in them for very long. I have a watch with little dials that go around with the push of a button and I can't tell you how many times I pushed them and watched them go "round and round" with Lily. Hey, whatever works to keep her from screaming her head off on the plane. Finally, after ~5 hrs she conked out for about 3 hrs. 



Above, our grandson models his new outfit, hat and all. Micah and Lily are exactly the same age. We will post a picture of them together when we can get them to hold still. He towers over her.
