Welcome Home

After a 12 hour flight from HK to San Francisco, a two hour layover where we had to run to make our plane and stand in the doorway to change a poopie diaper so they wouldn't close the door on us and another 3 hour plane from SF to Houston, we are officially home. For the most part, the kids did great on the trip. With about 1 1/2 hours to go till we got home, Eric and I had reached our limit. Neither of us had slept in 23 hours and we were cranky. Our bodies ached, we were irritable and could not get comfortable in our seats. However, our attitudes soon changed when we walked into the baggage claim area to a room full of family and friends welcoming home the newest member of the Norris family. Eric and I were sure that Jaxon would be stuck to us back at our house with all the crazy activities/ celebrations, but boy were we surprised. The child came alive--running and screaming through the house with his cousins. He quickly accepted his Aunt Bug and Cousin Kenlie-the mother hen. Malorie and Evie were busy keeping tabs on who got the most kisses. He amazed us. We couldn't have asked for a better welcome home celebration.
