The plane ride home was uneventful! Caroline and Emma slept like champs, which was great, but on my legs, which was a bit uncomfortable! We were delayed in Chicago and like walking zombies. At one point I went to the bathroom with the girls and came back to a sleeping Mark while sitting up. No one stole anything:)
Just getting home at 1:30 am. Mom made it special with balloons!
I woke up hearing Judson yelling, "jie jie" which means big sister in Chinese! He missed her!
Happy reunion with the boys!!
We had to wake Emma up at 8:30. She actually was up in the night for the first three nights, around 4 am. But has been sleeping thru the night the last 2 nights!! She is sharing Caroline's room. This is Judson finally meeting Emma. Notice my anxious face:) He is pretty rough with her, but she is a champ. It seems like she finds him interesting. She just looks at him and hardly ever cries at his roughness. Lawrence is the sweetest big brother. He is so gentle with her and brings her toys and tries to calm her when she cries! My little boy is growing up!

This is me feeling overwhelmed that first morning. What? 4 kids? 
Emma likes the train.
The "twins" sitting by the garbage can. Judson is 6 months older than Emma. And 16 pounds heavier. 
2 thumb suckers. They have to share momma's lap and generally won't let the other one sit there alone.
All in all its been such a great adjusting time. That is much due to my serving parents who are still here. I've talked them into staying another week(actually they had already planned on it). Its such a blessing that they are so willing to serve me and our family. I've taken Emma to mulitple dr appts already and couldn't have done it without their help. I wouldn't have any clean house or laundry without them either. Thanks mom and dad!!
Emma is doing great. She is eating solids well. Just ate her first peanut butter sandwich today and has moved on to whole milk! She is sleeping for one nap and through the night. She tools around the house and finds things to play with. She is playing with the kids and the grandparents. We are so blessed to have her and for the ease with which she is blending into our family.
Thanks for your prayers and encouragement!!
