U-S-A! U-S-A!

We are now on American soil...PTL! While our flight into LAX was almost an hour late, we sailed through customs and immigration without any trouble...and in less than an hour! What a difference between here and Chicago-OHare during our last adoption! The first picture is of our son with our guide, Kelly, just as we were leaving China, followed by Kai learning that he could watch his own movie on the plane...then the one of our newest American Citizen...even if he was a little tired and cranky!

We have nearly a 6 hour layover until our flight to Memphis, so we had an all-American-hot-dog-dinner with another adoptive family from Minnesota (Yeah, you betcha!) who were also on their second adoption. Very nice people who were still fighting the plague of China (fingers are still crossed that we don't get sick!) After dinner with them, we still had another 2 hours to wait, so we went to a place where we could chill out with some chips and salsa (a big hit with Kai) and waited to move into our boarding area.

Kai could not hang on, until boarding (after midnight) so we have now let him fall asleep and made him a little pallet at our feet. I hope that we do not regret this on the 4 hour flight back into Memphis.

Anyway, We had a great time in China, but GOD BLESS AMERICA! We can't wait to squeeze our other 2 boys in a few hours!

More from Memphis!
