Our journey home was terribly long but we all did well, considering circumstances. We drove to Hong Kong on Saturday morning, flew to Detroit at 1045 am and then had an EIGHT hour layover there then to HOME. It was so amazing to be welcomed home by our closet family and friends and so refreshing to share Ainsley with them and see how much they love her too! God is so good.
We went to iHop with a few of our sweet friends {how cute} and welcomed in the New Year there {how fun is that one?} :)
We arrived home at about 12:30 and saw that Santa had come, unfortunately Ting Ting was already asleep so she did not experience that, but the rest of us did. We had a fabulous mini Christmas!
Thank you all so much for your prayers as we journeyed to Ainsley. They are so coveted and we will be forever grateful. Our journey with Ainsley Ting is just beginning and I cannot wait to see where God leads our family in 2012.
Welcome home! What a beautiful homecoming for y'all!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, everyone! I wonder how many airport employees had tears in their eyes. I am sure Ainsley will be learning all about Christmas as soon as she wakes up. After all, she has five older siblings to teach her! Enjoy this first full day as a family of eight in the USA!

ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your blog, Ashton. It is so wonderful to read the experience through your eyes/perspective. I am sorry that we didnt get more time together, but enjoyed meeting you and your wonderful family at the Safari. Thanks for taking the picture of Madison and I feeding the baby tiger ;-)
