We're Here Y'all!

By God's great GRACE and MERCY, we had a wonderful 10 hour flight! (Well, as wonderful as 10 hours in a plane can be!) The girls did GREAT! I was in the bulk head seat with Addison and a pull-out baby cot and Marc and the girls were behind me. Maybe that's why I thought it was a great flight! Ha. No, seriously, they did great. Cerys did not sleep one wink, but neither did one complaint come out of her mouth! Bailey was so pleasant and played and even took a short nap. Addison slept most of the time when she was not eating.

Anyway, we are here at my parent's house, and it is good to be home! Mom is making dinner, Dad is at the park with the girls and I'm sitting in my Dad's recliner just chilling! I didn't realize how home-sick I was until we got here and I was sitting on my bed feeding Addison and the tears flowed. I'm also only 6 weeks post-partum so I'm pretty sure hormones are still a big factor for me right now.

We feel so blessed and humbled- our sweet friends (you know who you are!) left a huge gift sack for us full of American goodies and cute baby items, plus a very generous gift card to Target! That will my first stop tomorrow after getting my hair fixed- the red is coming out! :) Anyway, seriously, we are so humbled. I cried again after opening their sweet gift. Why are people so nice to us! I've just really felt God's love and grace over us today as we have travelled. I'm really looking forward to the next 2 weeks!

Oh, how I wish I could be there with you!
I'm glad your flight went well. I'm hoping the first time we travel will be that smooth.
Enjoy your time getting your hair done. Let yourself be pampered!
Have fun shopping! You'll have to tell me all about it...I can dream through your adventures :)

So glad your flight went well and you're home with family. I'm always surprised how my emotions catch me off guard when we go back to the states plus you've just had a baby and a long flight and all that goes with getting ready to travel.

I started crying on one trip as we were leaving the immigration desk in Washington DC and the attendant looked me right in the eye and said Welcome Home. Alot of feelings sweep over you in that moment.

Have a great time and enjoy your visit...Happy Easter!
