Already wanting to surf the net!!

Our Allie is so sweet. She is warming up to the family beautifully. My mom stayed over last night and was thrilled that Allie let her hold her. It was only for a moment but at least she was willing.
We will go visit Todd's family today and have some yummy home cooked food. I'm sure Granny will have a "baby" menu for Allie.
Can you believe I was on Continental.com this morning looking for plane tickets to Orlando. Somebody shoot me!! But for real, we are going to Orlando in June and Continental sent us a 125.00 voucher for our next flight. Guess what? No flight directly to Orlando unless we go to Newark first...ha ha...forget that sh*t, I will just drive.
Hello to my sweet friends. I love looking at your new pics of the baby so keep posting.

Lovin' being home

Allie is doing very well. She has not warmed up to daddy yet but is letting Dalton hold her more. That gives me a much needed break to do things. We did take her up to the fire dept and the guys were really sweet to her! I had lunch with my sister and Allie did great! That was the best Taco salad I think I have ever had. The boys are getting over their jet lag. With football practice and band practice everyday I guess they have no other choice!!

So good to be home

Well we have been home for two days now and things are going ok. Allie did well Saturday night but last night was a little tougher. She woke up around 4 and was soaking wet. Even the crib was wet. I changed her and she slept another hour but tossed and turned the entire time. I finally gave up sleep and took her upstairs and we watched Elmo together. This girl loves to eat!! She is eating more than I am!! I will post new pics once my head is on sraight. I miss my travel buddies and I am glad to see everyone has made it home. Todd is headed to Hardees to get me a much needed chicken biscuit!!

We are headed home!

After an amazing two weeks in China we are headed home. Sorry I haven't been able to blog. I tried just about everyday to send but a lot were returned. Allie is officially ours!!! We took our oath yesterday at the US Consulate with 28 or so other families. Everyone remained healthy for the most part. All of us have a little cold and Brian did get sick a couple of times. Nanchang was the hardest city to stay in. There wasn't much to do and not much to pick from as far as food. Guangzhou had a Starbucks near our hotel (The Victory) so I was pretty happy with that. Hong Kong was my favorite place though. We were only there a short while but it was very Western. This is an amazing journey and for all of you out there still waiting I would encourage you to be strong and stick it out. I promise you once you meet that little boy or girl you will totally melt and be in love. Our daughter is perfect in every way. Enjoy the pics!

A few pics for you!

We're here!

After a very long flight we are finally in Hong Kong. We arrived at 2am Saturday morning (Hong Kong time)(2pm NC time) Our flight from Newark was delayed 7 hours so that put us getting in really late. We got to the hotel showered and slept until 11am then met Delaine and Gary downstairs. We exchanged money and bought Disney tickets right in the lobby. Our hotel even had a shuttle for Disney so it made the day really easy. This Disney was a lot smaller than the Florida but still fun. The space mountain ride went extremely fast. Once I was off that ride I was done for the day! We are headed out to dinner in a little while. Todd and the boys are sleeping and I'm wide awake. We saw an Outback Steakhouse on our block so we may end up there. We leave tomorrow morning bright and early for Nanchang. We will get Allie that afternoon. Hopefully my next post will have pics of our new baby!!
