We arrived home to Molly's Way last night after traveling and being up for roughly 31 hours. We're all tired! Keith and Lia have been sniffling and sneezing all day... colds from being worn out! We left the hotel in Guangzhou at 5 am Thursday morning, took a van ride to the airport in Hong Kong where we caught a late morning flight to Tokyo. After a two hour lay over we caught our twelve hour flight to JFK. Lia did very well with flying.

Welcome to America Lia!
Home feels so good! We were greeted with balloons and decorations on our mailbox, garage doors and front door. Thank you! So sweet!
What an experience these past two weeks have been. We thank God for taking care of us in all of our travels and especially for blessing us with our little china pearl, Lia! We love her dearly! We loved China very much and hated to leave. We found the people very friendly and gracious. The sights were amazing and the was food delicious.
Some random pictures...
Lia sees the Mango Pudding... it was delicious!

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the your new home and country, Lia! I have printed off some of these posts and photos so G-Auntie Alice can read and look at them. She has been enjoying them. Lia, You are so precious! You have also made your Mommie and Daddy super happy that you became their daughter. I pray for your whole family to get over jet-lag and adjusted to being a family.
