Home, Safe and Sound

Hey everyone, sorry to leave you hanging out there like that for a few days. We've just been getting our butts kicked by the time change. We've got 13 hours to find and I think we're only finding about 1 hour a day. Poor Helen. She is struggling so with the switch to opposite days and nights. Progress is slow but we're trying to maintain our sense of humor and do everything we can to try to help her transition, not only to the new hours, but also to everything being all new again.
The flight was fairly uneventful, with Helen sleeping a good portion of the time. She had her own seat so we made a little bed for her. Stew was able to catch a few winks, as well, but I was bug-eyed awake for all but about 20 minutes. Enough about us...back to Helen...

Arriving in the U.S.

Showing everyone how she can stand like a big girl!

Welcome home, peanut!

I've been checking every day! I figured the whole family would have some time (among other things) adjusting to do, especially poor Helen. She's so cute in her welcome home dress! I'm happy to hear you made it home safe and sound. Hope to hear from you soon.

I am glad to see you are back safe and sound. I hope the transition to the time zone difference improves. If you need anything, please let me know.

Yay! You're home safe! Lisa assured me and shared her pics, but i was anxious to see what you had to say. Knew you'd have a heck of a time adjusting. Poor lil' Peanut! I bet that is just so extra, extra hard on a baby! But you'll all get through it!! Can't wait to meet her!!! God bless!

Yeah! So glad you are home and it was so great to meet you all at the gate when you arrived! Helen is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen - such a sweet, innocent face! Remember that when you are staring at each other at 3 AM! :-)

Love you!

Lisa
