Home, Suhweeeet Home!

Evidence of a long trip.

Anybody know the first thing you do when you get home from a trip to China? Dig for the souvenirs! When packing in China we spread things out just in case a bag got lost or delayed coming home.

My poor Sweetie...the first thing she is faced with tomorrow is this pile of messiness while I head off to work. Oh well...I'll have my own messes after being gone for two weeks.

So Baby Ming is home getting used to her brand new environment. New high chair, new bedroom, new relatives, new everything. Honestly, she appears to be a little stressed. She is very clingy right now, especially with me.

On the way home from the airport she fell asleep in the car. We placed her in her crib and she slept soundly for a nice stretch this afternoon. But when she awoke she was really wailing...new crib.

And she's really freaked out about Joe the dog. She just looks at him through the sliding glass door and rumples up her face and starts shedding tears.

Tonight our whole family had dinner at Grandma S's place along with Aunt Cindy. We shared some China gifts, watched our orphanage visit video, and enjoyed a great spaghetti dinner. Man, was the food good! Good home cooking never tasted so wonderful. Ming took some time getting warmed up to the crowd, but we're making progress. It will take a few days to get everything evened out.

Ming fell asleep in the new stroller Grandma bought after a brief stroll on the patio...she's had an exhausting couple of days.

Stay tuned for more posts and more pictures uploaded. I won't be posting every day in the future, but I'm going to keep our blog updated with activity and progress of our beautiful little Ming Mei.
