We are home and VERY tired!

Hi there everyone. Thank you all for your love and support. We are home! We arrived in Newark around 2:00 Friday. After going through immigration at the Newark airport, Sophia is officially a US Citizen. Hooray! The 15 1/2 hour flight from Hong Kong was not that bad. Sophia cried upon take off and landing (more like screamed) but the rest of the trip she did way better than I could have ever dreamed. There were a few very restless times where we did a lot of walking and "crawling" but she didn't upset too many passengers. He he he... Hannah was amazing!!!!! She slept a lot and watched many movies. We really couldn't do too many activities as they kept the plane really dark so everyone could sleep. However, we Paul and I didn't sleep more than about an hour each. We brought the low protein rice with us and the flight attendant was awesome and cooked the rice for us for the flight. It took her several times to get the cooking down (rice /water ratio due to the high corn syrup issue) but Sophia didn't seem to mind.

We then had a 5 hour layover in Newark which was a good thing as immigration took forever, we had to go through customs, claim our bags, re-check our bags and then go through security AGAIN. It is such a crazy process. Then the gate was wrong and we really didn't realize it until seeing the gate was for Copenhagen....leaving about 30 minutes before us we realized it couldn't be right. But we figured it out and arrived at the gate about 45 minutes before boarding.

The departure from Hong Kong was very interesting and we almost missed the flight due to our travel agency having Sophia's lap ticket not the same as our tickets. Long story...but we made it. Whew.

We are struggling pretty bad right now with jet lag.....we are all exhausted. Lots of crying not wanting to sleep from all 4 of us.....most though, Hannah. It is VERY taxing on her and Sophia just doesn't want to sleep when we are sleeping. This soon shall pass.

Love to all. I can't find my USB port in the luggage but as soon as I have time and not too tired I will post some pictures. Thanks again for everything.
