Last Day - The longest day of them all - the flight back home (over 24 hours of traveling - ugh! :).

Saying goodbye to Kathy at the Guangzhou airport 

Ellie Kay ready to go home!  

Landing in Beijing after getting off the plane.  We were squeezed into a shuttle and taken to the terminal.  China knows what it is to pack people in!

Beijing airport - taking a nap on Daddy

Finally landed in the US (Detroit)!  EK is almost a citizen at this point - just a few minutes later after an "interview" with USCIS.

We're through the checkpoint and EK is a citizen!  Unfortunately, we chopped her out of the pic (she's on Matt's shoulder) and immediately a federal agent asked to see the pic and asked us to not take any more until we were completely through immigration security so we didn't get a chance for a re-take - oops!

Here I am as a citizen! :)

Aidan slept like this during the entire Detroit layover.  He had not been to sleep in hours and hours and finally crashed!!

Back in Memphis

(Thanks to Waverly for these pics)

Our family waiting for us (Thompsons left; Smiths right; cousins in middle).

Munday crew

 Tru waiting to meet his new baby sister

 We're here!!  They all get to meet Ellie Kay!

 And we get to hug our Tru bug!

 She was taken with Tru and still is.  She puts up with a lot. His hugs aren't gentle, but she wants to love on him and kiss him anyway. Her favorite thing is to kiss him first thing in the morning or when she first gets up from a nap.  I hope they grow up to be best friends like Jacob and Aidan.

 Our family finally back together!  All the boys have shirts that say "Big Brother" in Chinese.

Ellie Kay after crying the whole way home from the airport. My Dad is so tender hearted and hated that she cried the whole way and wanted to hold her.  I love this pic!  :)

Whew!  It "only" took me a couple of months, but I'm finally done posting China pics!   Now, I can start posting current stuff occasionally.  :)
