We're Home!!!

We're finally home. We arrived in Tulsa yesterday (Friday) afternoon around 1:30pm. After a quick diaper change, we headed to baggage claim where we were met by lots and lots of our friends. Ian did great. He just kept looking around and checking everyone out. He was especially excited about the balloons.

The flight was long. Let me say that again. The flight was LONG. The direct flight to New Delhi when it was just Charlie and I, was great. We slept and it was fine. But, traveling 15 straight hours with an infant is pretty miserable. Ian did well. He slept for probably half of the flight. Charlie was really the only one that could comfort him on the flight, so I know Charlie was really tired by the time we reached Newark. Ian actually did much better than I had anticipated. Especially since our very first flight was so tough.

Immigration and customs in Newark was great. Pretty fast and uneventful. Ian was starving, so I fixed him some cereal and a bottle when we arrived at our gate. Then he got mad. I think he was just so tired. He was crying, crying, crying when we got on the plane to Houston. Shortly before take off, he settled down. He slept pretty much the entire flight. We were late getting in to Houston and we thought we were going to miss our connecting flight to Tulsa. But, by the Grace of God, the Tulsa flight was delayed slightly.

Ian is doing well since we arrived home. We took a nap yesterday afternoon (about a 4 hour nap). Then we had some dinner and then a bath. Then it was time for bed. He went down around 10:30pm last night and is just now waking up. I hear him "talking" to his Daddy.

Today is our first full day home, so we're excited to see how it goes.

My friends, thank you for all of your support and your prayers during this journey. Please continue to pray for a smooth transition.

More as we get a chance.
