We're home!!

We woke up at 4am Friday to get to the airport in Guangzhou... after a short flight we had a seven hour layover in Hong Kong, and then a long flight home.  I got sick on the way home.  Very ironic, as I ate in local restaurants throughout China and was fine, but a ham sandwich on Cathay Pacific did me in.  Needless to say it was a long, long flight.  Feeling a lot better, now (thank goodness for the Pepto that I packed but did not need in China).  

Kavanna is enjoying her new home!
Here she is in her carseat:

Here she is on a living room chair:
Here she is sleeping in her crib:

We returned home to news that there are many terrible fires in the greater L.A. area.  My hearts go out to the people who lost their homes.   

Thank you to everyone who posted comments and emailed during our travels.  It meant a lot to us to hear from all of you.  Thank you for following our journey to (and now with) Kavanna!

Welcome home!! Hoping her transition continues to go well. She's squishy and too precious.
How does the surface of your pool look? Yeah - and we also have lovely black sludge in the filter. Air quality's worse than during the Sesnon fire which was closer to us. The OC fires are SO scary!
Glad you're all home, Miss N.
