Home!

We made it! What a long day, but it's done!  We're so thankful for everyone who was praying for us all the way home. What a huge blessing you've been to our family!  Please continue to pray for us over the days and weeks to come.  Lot's of adjustments still need to be made by everyone.  And jet-lag again!

A bit about our extra long day. We started out with a van ride from Guangzhou to Hong Kong.  Seemed simple enough but Valerie got carsick - vomit all over her, me and the van.  Didn't see that coming!  Thankfully we had extra Chinese cash with us to double the van driver's tip!

So even though there was some screaming on the flight, we're celebrating because there was no more vomit.  Little victories!

Valerie became a US Citizen when she went through immigration in Chicago. Woohoo!

No crying at all on the last flight! Awesome! So fun to see family and friends at the airport when we got home!

We're so excited to be home!  And I can't believe that I'm saying this, but after all those humid sweaty days in China and the vomit, I can't wait to do some laundry!

At the beginning of the day - too bad the patriotic outfit got vomited on in the first few hours

Eating noodles at the airport lounge. Could she finally be my lefty?

Massive line for immigration in Chicago. Thankfully one of us asked if we were supposed to be in it (because of the special paperwork we needed to do) and we got marched all the way to the front!

American citizen now!
