We are home!!

Hard to believe we have been home almost a week now. I didn't have a chance to post as my clock wouldn't switch to NB time and I have been pretty much in a fog. Lo and behold yesterday it switched!! What a difference a couple of days make on your outlook, lol!! We left Beijing and Sophia slept almost the whole flight and was fussy only about 45 minutes. This was fantastic as those who were flying know it would have been a nightmare if she hadn't slept. We arrived safe and sound at 3:45 in Toronto and had no glitches with immigration and by the time we got through the paperwork and picked up our luggage we and the Cassell's checked in the Sheraton at about 5pm. Not bad. We had some supper and a quick visit from Mike's brother in law and it was off to la la land. Sophia fell asleep from 9 pm and woke around 4:30 am. We got up and got ready for our next flight and we were on our way to NB!!! Sophia slept both the flight to Montreal and the one to Bathurst and this picture pretty much sums up the emotions of the day.
This is my daughter JJ getting her first look at her new sister and the blond girl is her "bestest girlfriend"!! All of our family and friends braved a storm that threatened our landing but God helped us out and we were able to land safely! We all went back to our house and our families had a welcome home party all ready! Thanks to all those who helped out it was great! Sophia headed off to bed around 11pm and woke up at 8am, yahoo!! Since then her clock has been on our time and while she has been waking up once a night she unusually goes right back to sleep. The Easter Bunny also found us and the girls had a great time searching out eggs, all 36 of 'em...Not sure what auntie M was thinking, lol!! We have slowly settled into a routine and are just loving every minute of it. Sophia is actually sleeping in her crib but when she wakes will not go back to sleep there so she is usually join us around 3 am until morning but this is a long way from the little girl who screamed bloody murder every time she was placed in the crib! She is really taking to her big sister and loves the feel of snow flakes on her face, whew!! I will post some pictures and will try and update later this week. Thanks to all those who have followed our journey and to all of our fellow travel mates...A better group we could not have asked for!!
