Travel Adventures Wrap Up

The kids all did great on the flight after the long delay in Hong Kong. We were able to reserve seats that had bassinets for the boys (I didn't even know those existed!) so they slept for the majority of the 4 hour flight as did Andersen, Paige and James. When we arrived in Korea we found out that our next flight was also delayed but only for an hour and a half so we found a good play area for the kids, had some lunch and just enjoyed stretching our legs.













Then it was time to board the looong flight home. The kids all did great on this flight also! Andersen and Paige started off the flight watching a couple of movies and then enjoyed some naps and other activities the rest of the time. The boys, napped, played and ate their way through the 13 hour flight. James and I tried really hard to avoid prolong crying from either of the boys because the flight attendants with this airline come running (almost literally) at the first sign of any baby noise. They come ready to "help" by making faces and noises at your baby and trying to reach to take them from you if they are not quieting quickly enough. They stay at your seat until your baby is calmed just in case you need them. We watched them do it on all of the other flights with other babies so we tried really hard to make sure they didn't camp out with us :-)

We were relieved to arrive back in Dallas and after a little slow down processing adoption paperwork in immigration we were greeting by the most awesome friends and family anyone could ask for. They made us banners and came to welcome our family home, we felt completely surrounded by love.

I didn't have any extra hands to get my camera out to take extra pictures of everyone who came so I don't have any to post. But here is a picture of our wonderful send off to China. The day we left for China we walked out our front door to find our fantastic friends the Mayes family, standing with signs and waving pom poms...how great are all of our friends?!!
