Home at last!




Mom & George and Denise met us at the airport yesterday. It was a LONG flight, but the girls were angels. They confiscated a bottle of snake wine from us at the Guangzhou airport. It will be in quarantine there for 30 days if we would like to come get it. Sure!!
Rich brought pizza's to the house and we celebrated Christmas with him, Denise, the kids, mom & George last night.

We are pretty screwed up with jet lag right now, but we'll adjust.
We've done some unpacking and have tried to put away some toys!! They are everywhere!


Alena's not sure about the pets yet. She smiles at them, but doesn't want them to lick her, etc. It's also going to take her awhile to get used to being put down!! She has quite a little temper. Our neighbors must think there's some torture going on!
We would like to thank everyone that has helped us out throughout this journey. Whether it was running an errand, lending an ear, transportation, shopping, providing a meal, etc., we have been so fortunate to have all of you. We couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. We love you.

Is this her first time around animals that you know of? I'm curious to how her adjustment to them goes.

I'm so glad she's home!

I'm not sure if she has been around animals or not. There aren't any in the photos from her foster home, but she seems to relate to the dog a bit. She says the same thing when she sees her. (one syllable of some kind!) She hasn't cried around them at all. Just gets a little fussy if they really get in her space!

Hi Jenni

Glad to hear your home safe and sound. Just wanted to tell you and the family to have a very Happy New Year. Talk more when you get settled.
