We made it home (a week ago)!

We had such a great visit and such a hard time catching back up on life since China! We got home on Saturday and I'm so thankful we came home and had a day to catch up. We landed at 9:30 am, went through customs, and were back on American ground and headed home by 10:15. It was an eventful flight from Tokyo to Honolulu. The lights didn't go off until 5 hours in and they forgot Claire's meal. We had a small child who didn't want to eat the fish and was overly tired.

When we got home Saturday I unpacked all of our suitcases in record time and headed out to buy groceries. Claire took a 4 hour nap and Justin joined in. I knew if i went to sleep I wouldn't get up and I wouldn't sleep that night. At 8:30 we called it a night....at 2:30 we heard our little bundle of joy screaming "mommy, daddy, mommy, daddy". There was no way we were getting up at that hour...so she slept with us and we all slept until 11 the next morning! Who does that with a 21 month old??!?! Obviously a very tired family.

Sunday we spent the day at the beach getting some fresh air (something China is lacking) and some sun (also lacking). That night Claire went to bed at 8:30 and I'm pretty sure Justin and I didn't go to bed. ever. I was doing school work and by the time we went up it was 11. Then our little sweetie pie woke up at midnight!!! She came back to our bed- lets just say my "she will never sleep with us" went right out the window. She wasn't in the mood for sleep though. She was in the mood for headstands, giggling, and not sleeping. The last time I looked at the clock it was 3:30 and then 5. Last week was a blur, but we are back on track.
