We finally made it home.
Our plane landed in Charlotte around 6:45 pm. By the time we grabbed our luggage, finished fellowshipping with those who met us at the airport and drove home, it was close to 8:00. Actually it didn’t take us long to gather our luggage. We were in the last 2 rows of the plane so we were also the last ones off. By the time we made it to the baggage carrousel, our luggage was the only luggage left. All 5 pieces were sitting on the floor.
Both kiddos really did very well considering how long our day was. The biggest issue on the planes was jealousy. Every time Carmi would touch Karys, Eliana would cry. Every time Carmi would touch Eliana, Karys would cry. I was zero help because I’m still sporting a fever and feeling like major crud.
A big surprise was how easily Karys took to members from both sides of our family at the airport. I really suspected that she would pitch a fit when someone else wanted to hold her but she never did.
My sister Kerry, brother-in-law Art and mom brought us home.
Here’s one happy gran’mommy.
I’ve been checking your blog everytime I go online to see if y’all made it home safely. I’m so glad to see you’re back home and already settling in!
I hope that you (Doug) get well soon. We were sick a few days before we left Almaty and I think that added to our jetlag once we were home which wasn’t good at all!!
I love the pic of g’mommy and Karys! It’s beautiful!!
I am so happy you’re home & the girls did well!
Take care get some rest!
And thank you letting us join in your family growing!
We’re glad to hear that you all are home safely. Try to rest and enjoy your time together away from the hustle and bustle of China.
God bless and hope you feel better soon, Doug!

So sorry you are ill. Maddy has been running a fever as well so we are hoping the trip home goes smoothly and the benedryl and tylenol work.
