While I was gone, Eric finished the kitchen! He also put in a french door in our kitchen to the side yard, put a door into the garage with a window in it, put a saftey hinge on the kids toy box on the front deck, hung flower baskets on the front deck, finished the ceiling on the front deck, hung magic mesh on the back door, the house was spotless, laundry was all done, fridge was stocked with all of our favorite foods, he had fresh fruit and milk for Lili and I when he picked us up and when we got home we found out he'd baked us a chocolate cake too! What a homecoming. Mr. Eric has lots of brownie points stocked up now!
Lili is already onto Cdn. time. I'm still struggling, wide awake at 1:30 and starving. Much easier coming home from China without a baby though :)
I just loaded the rest of the trip photos on the last blog entry from China.
Everyone keeps asking if we had a good time. Hard to say. Will take some time to process the trip. We literally had Govt. officials with us for the whole trip. The first week, there were officials, tv camera's and reporters. The second week adoption and civil affairs officials. It wasn't quite the trip we had planned and envisioned to say the least and at the same time it was so much more than we thought it would be.
Jia was pretty darn happy to have her Momma home!
Wonder if Jenny thinks giving us the stick eye while laying in Lili's suitcase will keep us home?
Miss Fei had a wonderful time at camp, we're so proud of her managing on her own for the whole thing. She loved tubing. Right now she is spending every minute she can in the pool. Part fish that kid!
Lili has been talking about archery since we saw Brave. Eric bought her a kid size set and gave it to her when we got home. She was beyond thrilled.
We stuck around home for most of the weekend but went to the Forest Museum on BC Day.
Jia seriously loves trains, she was delighted.
Bye, bye train.
