How Time Flies!

It's hard to believe that we've been home 2 weeks already! It's also hard to believe that there was ever a time before Annie!

Now that she's adjusted (for the most part) to Chicago time and no longer wakes up at 2 in the morning wanting to play, mom has finally been getting a lot more sleep!

As for the flight home - let's just say that I do not recommend that anyone fly 15 hours with an infant and 3 tired adults who have just spent the last 2 weeks in very close quarters in economy class.

As for life in Glen Ellyn - it's much better - though Annie could do without the freezing cold and more importantly, the hats. On the plus side, Annie's met her cousin Anthony, Uncle Larry, Aunt Tina, Aunite's Karen and Michelle, great grandmother, G-G, and has a new little 5 month old girlfriend who lives in the condo next door. On the minus side, to celebrate exactly 2 weeks home, I took her to have blood drawn for a multitude of medical tests - she was a trooper through it all though. Two people had to hold her down - and declared her "very strong" afterwards... That's my girl.

The cat now seems resigned to the fact that Annie's not leaving anytime soon, and has even begun to sniff her out on his own - Annie love him from the get-go (exemplified by the fistfuls of fur she grabs every time he walks by...)

Below are some pictures from our last days in Guangzhou and then life at home.
