Bella and the Walnistas...are....HOME!!!!!

It is 12 40 AM, EST time...States Time.....We are IN OUR HOME!!!!! LONG LONG LONG trip, but everyone did fantastic....details will follow tomorrow, but flight from Beijing went great.....Bella sleeped for almost the entire flight....we were incredibly lucky.....flight was to depart at 3 45, but was delayed about 45 minutes...no big deal,, made it the time on the other end....We boarded about 3 15...Bella fell asleep at about 4....slept til 630...woke up, had some supper...played with us for an hour or so, got tired again.....around 9, fell back to sleep and i woke her when we got to Newark......we were excited.....no fussing...no crying......no passengers looking at us, in disgust, shaking their heads (come on, we ALL dread when we see babies on our flights, dont we????)......Newark was a nightmare...not customs or anything, but the flight....was supposed to depart at 8 45 pm......got delayed til nine...then, we sat on the runway until 10 15...!!!! so, instead of landing at 10 or so, landed around 11 15.....then, taxi service FORGOT our car seat....yup, Bella's first car ride in states, and it was 'illegal'....Anyway, as our bodies are telling us its 12 45 PM, we are pretty awake now.......but , wanted everyone to know our journey to GET Bella has ended, but our journey as a family of FOUR has just begun.......will post details and catch ups tomorrow...love to all
