Final thoughts from our trip

-It is crazy trying to get around the Chinese airports and not speak Chinese.
-We had to wait in some long lines at the airports with lots of luggage and hold Isabella
-China Southern Airlines rocked! The flight was 14 &1/2 hours long and was LONG but we were able to fly straight from LAX to Guanghzou. The last 4 hours were tough. I enjoyed watching on the little TV our flight path. It was cool to see how far we were and where we were passing through. My travel pillow was the best and I will always take it whenever I fly or drive. I bought it at walgreens. The Chinese flight attendant girls were so fun to watch. They had on the cutest outfits and were very gracious. I wish I had taken their pictures. My girls would have been copying them the whole flight.

-Judy really helped a lot with all the paper work at the airport to help us get out of there. When we said good-bye to her at the airport it felt like I was saying good-bye to my mom. I really wanted to take her with me. She was so wonderful.

-I am probably leaving out a ton of stuff but I wanted to crank out as many posts as I could to finish Isabella's blog. I don't want to forget any details and as time goes by I know I am already forgetting stuff.


-Chuck was so excited to be back to SLC that he threatened to kiss he ground when we got off the airplane. He didn't but I would have joined him if he did. It was so nice to be back and have some real food.

-Ying met us at the gate, which was so nice to have someone we know there waiting for us. She works for Delta so she was able to go right to our gate. I was really surprised. She also gave Isabella a cute little Delta toy airplane.

we both feel so blessed to have Isabella in our lives. We blessed her a few weeks ago and also baptized McKayla. She is special. We have been home for a few months now and Isabella is walking and playing with her brothers and sisters. She has a special bond with McKayla. We are still working on getting her to eat different foods and are working on her sleeping through the night. She says MAMA all the time and is now a little mommy's girl. She likes to sit in things and put things on her head. Bella is very cute and smart. She already says a lot of English words and understands a lot. We are lucky to have her! She is such a blessing! We know she was meant to be in our family! Our next exciting step is to have her sealed to us in the temple!
