safely home

We made it back to Seattle. The plane trip was long, but everyone did well. We had to go to baggage claim 3 times on the way back, once in Beijing to transfer it all to the international flight, once at customs in Seattle, then again at baggage claim in Seattle.
Yun Zhen is now a US citizen, though we have no paperwork to back it up. We will get a Certificate of Citizenship within 45 days. Immigration suggests we get her US passport right away.
I will try to post some pictures shortly, but I am functioning on a few 1-2 hr bits of sleep over the last 36hours, so if the opportunity to sleep comes up, I will probably take it instead of posting pictures.
The grandparents met us at the airport. Was very nice. They have pictures of us bleary eyed. I was so out of it that Virginia offered to make us dinner, and about 4pm I forgot and had Jeff make dinner. Sorry Virginia. Diana drove us home, stocked our fridge (so we had makings to cook) and bought us crib sheets (I can't believe I forgot to do that!).
Even though we stayed up until 7pm, no one slept past 12:30.
