We're home!!!

We made it home and Malia is officially a U.S. Citizen. We had a large group waiting for us at the airport. It was such fun and a relief to see familiar faces and places. Malia is wonderful on the flights home. She did well with the early morning and slept about 1/2 of the first 34 hour flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo. She was so patient with waiting for the connecting flight. Finally we were on the last long flight home and she just couldn't fall asleep and stay asleep. She was up playing and eating almost the whole flight home except for crashing the last 1 1/2. We made it through the long slow line at Immigration but had a fast pass through customs. Malia loved the house, her room, and playing with her cousin Garrett. She also said hi to the babies, Jude and Aislynn. I will post more later, including photos, since all of the cords are still packed somewhere.

  3. Welcome home! Julie said she was at the air port and said Malia was so adorable. Just makes me more excited for my time. Good luck getting over the jet lag and settling in with a little miss.
