After a very long day of traveling from China we made it home the evening of July 7 with our new little American citizen. The trip was long and by Los Angeles, our brains were mush from jet lag. Thomas, the seasoned traveler that he is, showed no signs of tiredness. Katherine did well on all flights with the exception of the last 20 minutes into Salt Lake City where she surely thought her head would explode from ear pain. The longest 20 minutes of our lives. But, once in the airport all was well. We considered kissing the ground when we arrived.
Our long journey starts a new chapter. Katherine's world has been rocked AGAIN, but she's managing very well. She's sleeping for 14 hours at a stretch, trying to adjust to this crazy new time zone. Meeting new people makes her cling to me tighter than ever, but when she's home alone with just our family she is becoming more confident each day in her new surroundings. She seems slightly more at ease while meeting the many neighborhood children who have come to welcome their new little playmate.
Our trip to get Katherine was life-changing. We're looking forward to settling into our family of four. Thanks again to all those who followed us on our blog.
