Journey to Aubrey Mei: HOME!

We made it home! Thought I was going to miss the flight - totally misjudged the time, how could I forget the wait at security at JFK! Aubrey was amazing again at the airport and during the flight- her Mommy was another story! I am standing in line at security pacing and thinking, I only have 30min to get through security and to our gate -- and it is a long line! A security officer took pity on me and guided me to a shorter line (or she was just annoyed because I kept repeating my baby's grandma is waiting for her and we have to make this flight!) Took about ten minutes to get through and with about 18 minutes to spare,did not want to even take the time to get my shoes back on -so Aubrey's crazy Mommy ran through the airport in her socks to make the flight! Aubrey thought this was all great - she was in the carrier and giggling the whole run through the airport! Well we made it and Aubrey slept for about 20 minutes on the flight and spent the rest of the time entertaining our new friends next to us - what a happy child! We were greeted by Goppy, Aunt Mo, and Uncle Rob - Aunt Mo got the ANGRY face at first, but that didn't last long- as soon as she was given her new USA Teddy Bear, Jing, she was all smiles! We came home to big balloons, cake, presents, food in the fridge and lot of hugs and kisses -- How lucky are we! She entertained her new family for awhile and then was off to sleep around 8:00pm. She did her usual playtime wake up at 05:00am for 2 1/2 hours (she could not stop laughing at her Goppy's voice coming from Jing and Bridget)-- and slept until 12:30 after that. Now that we are home we will have to work on that, not sure how because her Mommy can't help but smile and play with her precious daughter no matter what time it is! Thank you to everyone for your love and prayers. Thank you God for this incredible gift and for keeping me, my daughter, and my sister safe in our travels.
