We Made It!

We have been back at home for a little over a week now.  Our very long day of travel went pretty well considering we were traveling for 30 hours with 3 little kids, no stroller and 11 pieces of luggage.  After 4 flights we were at home safe and sound.  We know many people were lifting us up during the process and we are very thankful for that.  When we got to our apartment it was about 1:30am local time and around lunch time in America.  The kids were so excited to see their home and toys that they wanted to stay up and play.  We let them have a little time with their toys and then got every one in bed by 2am and after just 4 hours of sleep everyone was up around 6:30am.  We left America at the start of Friday and got here at the start of Sunday morning.  Even with the loss of a day in the mix of traveling we were wide awake. 
We have been unpacking, cleaning out our apartment, and settling back into our routine.  We've been able to see most of our good friends and we got a nice welcome of not having water the first day we were back home.  All in all we have made it through jet lag in the first week and we are almost back to normal. 
The last month before our return we were delayed due to my health.  We were living week to week not knowing if we could or would be able to return.  The unknown and long transition time made us all thankful to get back home.  It is good to finally be settled and to have everything unpacked and put away. 
Thank you for lifting our family up as we traveled, have been settling back in and as we have been readjusting to life.  We appreicate you!
