Our trip home was pretty smooth just exhausting. We were so fortunate to fly home from Hong Kong with about 7 other families with newly adopted Chinese children. It made it more fun and went by a little faster. We flew into a city about an hour and a half from home so our family had to make the Friday night trip up to meet us. We got there a few minutes before they did but boy were we glad to see them!
I cannot tell you the relief of arriving home after 24 hours of travel.
Ellery became a US Citizen today!
Finally the long awaited reunion with our family.
Don't you love how we packed so lightly.
Meeting my grandparents...
The center of attention, all her siblings fell instantly in love!
This is the moment it sunk in that we have 6 kids!!!
Having them all together was wonderful.
Don't you love big brothers expression?
Our First Family Photo all together finally.
And a very special Thank you to my friend Sharon for taking all the photos.
You know how priceless it is to have these but I cannot believe we didn't get a
picture together.

What a beautiful family picture!!!
Welcome Home!!!
Words really don't to justice to my emotions...welcome home, John and Jennifer. And to Ellery, welcome to a lifetime surrounded by family, love, warmth and security.
What a beauitful family picture. You 3 travelers looked really good to have travelled for 24 hours! Having done that 3 times, I dare to say you likely did not feel as good as you looked! : ) Welcome Home! So sad we weren't there!
Look how cute Ellery looks! And lily too! Okay, and YOU :-) Our homecoming was rotten!!!! Ruby & I were bawling before we ever got to the escalator thanks to a traumatizing diaper changing table experience :)
So precious to see your huge family all together!!!
