arriving in KY in August 2010

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Last day

Natalie says, "we are going where?"

we are leaving tonight. flight takes off around 9 on Friday night here.  we will be back in KY around 10 on Saturday morning.  for those of you who would like to see us at the airport, you can contact David or mom for details about our flights (and delays).  hopefully we will all be able to sleep on the planes and will be in a good mood to greet you.  

things have been going pretty well.  Natalie has really gotten closer to me in the past few days.  that is almost a bad thing since my arms are very tired.  she still likes her mommy when it is bedtime though.

while we will miss some things about our stay here, we are certainly ready to come home.  we want everybody to see her ASAP and we will make every effort for that to happen.  please remember though that we are trying to do a 12-hour shift for a child with a very regular sleeping schedule.  it will be quite the challenge.  

fyi, everyone here keeps talking about what a pretty girl she is.  we are very proud of our "sexy lady" (what we have been told one of the Chinese characters used to spell Natalie means).  awesome.

  1. All three of you are very lucky to have found one another. Have a safe, restful flight home and congratulations to you and all of your family members (and friends) in welcoming the newest addition! We wish we could be at the airport to celebrate your return, but hope that we can visit sometime in the fall to get the 'girls' together.

  9. Hoping that your flight goes well even though I know that your laps will feel like a jungle gym. The first week is rough when you are trying to get back to USA time. Let me know if you all need anything....Gina Saltsman
