We're Home

We made it home after the long flight from China. Sarah was great on the plane - she slept some of the time and played on the seat the rest of the time. Here she is in her own seat on the plane.

We had a grand welcoming committee waiting for us at the airport. We were greeted by Auntie Heather, Uncle Kevin, Grandma, Auntie Mandy, Auntie Meghan, Cousin Rachael, my good friend Catherine and Kevin and Heather's good friend Heather. When we walked out of the arrival gates it was a flurry of camera flashes - we felt like celebrities arriving. We were greeted with a big welcoming sign and Sarah was showered with gifts of teddies, dolls and balloons. Heather was the official photographer and from the preliminary pictures we've seen they are going to be fantastic. The excitement was just beginning. Kevin took us to the "van" he had arranged to pick us up with - it turned out to be a beautiful stretched limo with all the bells and whistles. Sarah was whisked home in style. Once we got home we were again receiving royal treatment - Kevin had all our luggage brought in and he took out Sarah's car seat and installed in into our car so we wouldn't have to worry about it. Auntie Janice, Cousin Liam, Grandpa and Montana were waiting at our house for the big arrival. The house was decorated with pink and white balloons, inside and out.

They had some nice snacks waiting for us and Heather was able to take some more pictures. Everyone stayed for a little while and then left to try and get some rest. Sarah was quite tired and didn't want anything to eat so she had a nice bottle then went off to sleep in her new bed with her new quilt made by Auntie Janice - it's just beautiful, she also made a lovely bedskirt to match.Sarah had a good nights sleep and got up nice and fresh and had a lovely breakfast in her new highchair from Grandma and enjoyed playing with some of her balloons this morning.
