The last day in Shanghai we went to the park one last time so Ali and Aisha could play.
It was a crazy day but we made it with the help of our awesome friends.
This is our favorite concierge! I will always remember his cheery disposition and kind nature.
Here we are just before we got into the van. Our last moment at our Shanghai home.
Getting started on our first leg of the trip. Ali settled and went right to sleep.
I can't figure this new blogger feature out so for now the photo will be sideways.
We're all still smiles here so it must have been relatively early in our trip. By the last leg we'd all had it. Ali vomited right before we landed in Boston. It was not pleasant but I'm glad it didn't happen on one of the other 2 flights.
We made it to Boston after a LONG journey. I decided not to travel until the kids are at least 10. Seriously. We left our apartment in Shanghai at 6 pm and got to our hotel in Boston about 30 hours later. Everyone went right to sleep and slept for what felt like 2 days. 6 days later we found an apartment and we were so excited that we didn't even think about the fact that we'd all be on the floor that night.... except for James. He brought his Pack n' Play- smart boy. The next day we bought groceries and Jimmy tracked down a mattress for us and a crib for Ali. We all had the best night's sleep that night.
unpacking:
There is a little forrest out my kitchen window and a pond with ducks and geese just beyond that. I can't believe we found such a perfect place! Here is Ali looking out at her new park...
and the pond behind our place.
Our new home feels like heaven! It is quiet and peaceful and absolutely beautiful. I am in love with the area we live in. Sometimes when I go to a new place I find a piece of my soul there, like it's been waiting for me to come and feel at home. I thank Heavenly Father every day for watching over us and bringing us to this little part of heaven.
