We are Home!
The night before our flight, James had a high fever and chills. We tried to reschedule our flight, everything was booked for Chinese New Year, so we just went for it.

After 15 hours, 3 flights and 3 countries we finally landed at LAX with our good friends Serra and Jules thankfully waiting for us with smiles, goodies and a balloon for Lucy (her favorite thing). They were a welcome sight! After an hour drive home, James couldn't find the key to the house. We had to call a locksmith to come out and open the door. Jules and Serra stayed with us and then got us dinner.

We've been home a little over a week. Lucy is doing great! Our first couple of days home was pretty rough. A lot of crying and tantrums. Can you imagine the shock for a 3 year old flying for 15 hours, then coming home to a strange house and new environment. Our hearts went out to her. By the third day Lucy really started settling in with everyday getting better. Today was our best day with Lucy. She's just a joy to be around. We're getting into a nice routine and getting over the jetlag. Still not quite there yet. We took Lucy out to Ruby's (a local hamburger joint) and she loved watching the other people and kids and had her first ice cream cone.

Lucy is happy and making new discoveries all the time. She amazes us every day.

We will be adding new pics to the gallery soon!
