What a Relief - we are HOME at LAST!!!

We woke up at 4am on Wed. in China (1pm here on Tues.) to get ready to go! We left the hotel by 5:30 and our first flight took off around 8:30am. There were about 5 families with early flights and 2 of them flew to all the way to San Francisco with us. It was nice to have familiar faces to travel with and to figure things out together. A few of our flights changed around but we still arrived in Pasco at the original time. Instead of a 6 hr. layover in Seattle, we had the layover in San Fran. We used this time to sleep in the chairs, on the floor and to wash up and get refreshed for the final 6 hrs. of travel.

The boys and Hayleigh were EXCELLENT travelers! We are so blessed!!

We were SOOOO EXCITED to finally touch ground in Pasco Wed. night at 10:30!! We were soo surprised to see so many friends an family waiting to greet us and meet Hayleigh! It was really overwhelming and a HUGE RELIEF to be home and in the company of our friends and family:) We were welcomed with posters at the airport and posters, balloons, streamers, groceries, dinner and cookies at home! We really felt the love of Jesus being poured down on us - thank you to everyone!
