You have heard the children's tune, "It's the song that never ends, and it goes on and on my friend". That's how yesterday's marathon flight home felt like to this weary family. It took over thirty waking hours and 22 flight hours before we became reacquainted with our beds at home. Steven did well on the travels with one exception. As we approached the runway at Minneapolis/St. Paul (our first American port of call and US Customs inspection station), our son decided he did not want to declare the contents of his stomach. So he left them on his airplane seat. The other thing that Steven is not enjoying is our dog Moxie. Moxie is an 80 pound chocolate lab mix and Steven has never had a personal encounter with an animal. So he's quite intimidated and afraid. But I feel in time he will adjust the same way Samuel did with the dog. However Steven does like our cats "shao-mao". (That's what is sounds like he's saying).
Samuel enjoyed the light to moderate turbulance but he did not like to do all the walking between gates.
One highlight in the journey was seeing the spectacular Mt. Fuji from our airplane windows.
Today we spent the day packing our remaining belongings for our move to Virginia. Now that jet lag is catching up with us, we'll sign off .
Thanks for all of your prayers. And keep reading as we share about our life with two boys.
One big praise item: We were notified that we are receiving one final adoption grant. Thank the Lord for his kindness!
