Hello from GA! :)) It was a very long, exhausting way by multiple modes of transportation--airplane, train, bus, taxis & automobile that got us home safely.This is Julia and I'm writing from the comfort of my air conditioned home office during Zachary's nap time. We had an amazing trip but we are so happy to be home!!

These last few days Zach has been a very busy little boy! The very first day home we loaded up our SUV (after 20 irritating minutes with the car seat---thank goodness for a calm sister sitting at her computer able to google "trouble shooting" help regarding our car seat)and headed to our local mall to buy Zach proper Stride-rite shoes. He LOVES his new shoes! He would probably wear them to bed if we let him! His foot measured in at 5.5 itty bitty teeny weeny bitty baby inches.


His grand father, Poppi has visited several times & has taken him to our neighborhood park. Zach loved the slide


This morning Zach woke up to have breakfast with his new friend our deck squirrel!

Zach LOVES noodles! So far it appears to be his favorite food! Now, not every noodle will do! He very much dislikes the macaroni noodle. But, adores a thick & long "Japanese Noodle". We found something similar to what he was eating in China. However, it is not quite right. But, he enjoyed his first taste of the American Japanese Noodle for lunch today. Apparently the minor differences didn't discourage him from devouring as much as his belly could hold.

Again, we would like to thank everyone for following our blog! Now that we are home, we are able to catch up on all your comments!

Thank you to my sister Camille for helping us communicate via this blog! As most of you know, we were unable to reach blogger in China. Creating a work around we emailed Camille our blog posts & picture links and she posted all our messages for us. With out her help we would have had a very silent blog. And, after years of "advertising" our blog to family & friends we would have been very sad not to be able to share our trip with everyone back home!

Thank you to Connie, my Bestie, for house & dog sitting for 21 days! We came back to a very clean home with happy Chihuahua's waiting for us! We knew she was taking great care of our fur babies which allowed us to relax & enjoy our first weeks with our son.

Thank you for my Father-in-law for taking us to the Atlanta airport and back! We were over joyed to see his smiling face (along with my sister and her beautiful family) waiting for us in the airport! We wanted to kiss the filthy ground but we restrained ourselves.

Thank you to my parents, Glen & Lynda, for all your help and support in China! We certainly could not have traveled as easily with out you! And, we appreciated your presence, more than you may ever know! And, to my Father for all the beautiful pictures you took during our trip! We surely are blessed to have our own personal photographer capturing every special moment! We will always cherish our memories of you on this very momentous trip!

We hope you will continue to follow our blog! We have every intention to maintain and post as often as possible! Some time soon we will post a few more of our favorite pictures from China!We have quite a few to chose from ;))

A few more random ((adorable)) pictures...
