Waking up at 3:45 a.m., quick showers, dressing sleepy girls.
A ride through empty streets to the airport, on the first day of the new year.
A short flight and then a long layover at O'Hare.
Fourteen hours in the air.
Movies, naps, airline food, general fussing.
Landing through overcast skies, touching down at Pudong airport.
Immigration, waiting for luggage, customs.
A sea of Asian faces, and Mr. Wu!
Miraculously fitting seven large pieces of luggage, numerous carry-ons, and seven people in the car.
Opening the door to our place at last.
Kitties purring, luggage in a pile inside the door.
Home.

About Me

- We adopted our youngest child, Gwen, from the Sichuan province in China in 2005, making our family SIX. In 2007, we were given the opportunity to move to Shanghai, where we lived for just a few weeks shy of five years. Now we are back in the Chicago area and readjusting to life in the US!

So glad you're there and back again....
Where was Mr. Wu when we moved? He could have gotten our whole house packed into our VW passat and we could have skipped the moving van!
Bummer.
glad you're back safe!
Jen
Happy to hear you are home safe.
Talk to you soon.
I can relate to this one! Home in the East and home in the West. What a blessing, but can be tiring!
