It's 4:00 am on Friday and we are up. Lily is eating her Cheerios (she loves her Cheerios) and playing with her new little kitchen. It plays music so it is very popular. She's in a really good mood so I guess there is no going back to bed anytime soon.
I'm finally getting a chance to see everyones comments on the blog. Thanks to everyone for your wonderful notes and all the emails.
The flight was long and for the most part wasn't too bad. Lily slept about a total of 7 hours. Mommy may have gotten a couple of hours for the most part and Aunt Donna finally got a little sleep when Lily stopped kicking her.
We were greeted at the airport by a wonderful crowd. It was fabulous and Miss Bit was certainly the main focus with all the cameras pointed at her. She looked great but the rest of us, well lets just say, we've had better days.
Thank you for everyone for coming to greet us. We had presents and balloons and lots of hugs and smiles. It meant a great deal and hopefully a few of you can send me some pics so I can put them in her Life Book. I'm sorry we didn't take a group shot and didn't get a chance to speak individually to everyone but your presence was certainly noted and very much appreciated. Sabrina, we will connect soon and you can give Lily her new giraffe personally. There was just too much excitement yesterday. The balloon was very popular.
I also want to say a really BIG Thank You to Aunt Donna. It was great having you there with us and we I couldn't have done it without you. You are very special and dear to both of us.
Today we are going to do laundry and just explore our new house and toys. I'll try and connect with everyone personally once we are back on Canada time.
Have a great weekend everyone. It is good to be home and yes, I ate a PB&J sandwich for dinner last night. It was wonderful. Here's our first pic at home.

Welcome to Canada, Lily! Glad you're home, and that your travels went well!
ReplyDeleteHope Lily is settling in to her new home and time zone! Am sure Mommy is thrilled to be home, but anxious to get some much needed sleep. I loved following your blog and could relate to a lot of the places you mentioned. It brought a lot of great memories from our trip just over 2 years ago. Again, congratulations and enjoy many special times with your new daughter!
