HOME!!!

We are home and what a great feeling it is. Olivia did great on the plane for 14 hours. She slept most of the way and was up probably a total of 3 hours of the total plane ride. The car seat she didnt like at first but then fell asleep for a few minutes. Grandma and Grandpa were so excited to see Olivia. Grandma made a great first impression with Olivia bringing her a baloon to the airport and then we got home and there were more balloons. Then the florist came with a bunch more balloons. They were from Mike and Marie. The dogs have done better then what we expected. Olivia isn't sure about them yet. The first night sleeping was a little rocky and she ended up in bed with us. We were all up at 3:00 in the morning.
It will take a while for the time change.
We just want to thank everyone that supported us while we were in China. Your thoughts, prayers, and comments kept us going while we were in China. We will keep posting on here time to time to tell you all about our progress with Olivia as she grows and as we grow as one big happy family. Thank you
