We are home!

Finally!  We made it home late yesterday.  We left Hong Kong just before noon (HK time) and flew 14.5 hours to Chicago Ohare.  Typhoon Nesat made the takeoff very interesting to say the least but after waking up ad seeing that our flight was delayed we were thrilled that it ended upleaving on time.  The flight to Chicago was long but uneventful.  Jackson slept maybe half the flight, although the rest of us didn't.  As far as Ohare, let's just say I would be happy if I never stepped foot in that airport again.  How can it be that every time I go through there something happens.  Every time.  No problems in Beijing, Guangzhou, or Hong Kong - but at Ohare of course.  Hopefully our bags will be delivered this morning. At least that's what we've been assured. 

Jackson continues to be great through all these major life changes for him. God has most assuredly prepared his heart for us.  He loved all the plane rides, waited patiently for our bags to not come and jumped in the car and we were driving home.  I would love to know what was going through his head.  He surely has not seen anything like this before.  He came from an area in southern China that collectively had to have over 100 million people and he is looking at corn fields and trees.  

We got home and gave him a tour of him his room and the rest of the house.  I'm pretty sure he doesn't understand that he has a whole room to himself.  When everybody else wakes up (jet lag for me so I'm not sleeping - hey I swear it should be like 5pm) we will show him around outside.  Then sometime today we'll go pick up Henry.  That should be fun to watch, a dog who loves kids and a kid who may have never seen a dog that big.  

Thanks for everyone's prayers.  We know God was with us the wole trip.  See everyone soon.  It is good to be home.
