Leaving Taiwan tomorrow


Wow, what an amazing week. It's been exhausting and sometimes stressful...but an amazing week! Annabella is napping now so I thought I'd add one more picture of her. This is from dinner last night. She seemed to enjoy sitting in her high chair. :-)
I'm so excited to get her home so she can meet her brothers and her Daddy. She is just going to love her brothers...I know they will make her laugh so much.
Well, I need to pack for our long journey home. I am dreading the long flight.
I hope she sleeps some on the airplane...fingers crossed.

Too cute! She looks soooo happy! What a lucky girl to have a special mommy and daddy and great brothers to love her! :)
Safe travels.

p.s. the jet lag when you get home is worst than when you got to Taipei so make sure you have time to take a break and sleep a lot at home.

Boy, is she just the happiest, cutest thing ever, or what!?! You can see the joy radiating from her! I'll bet that her brothers are going to absolutely adore her.

Hope you have a great trip home!,

I agree with Nicole on the Jet lag....get lots of rest. I am so glad you are heading home. The trip is long, but you will be HOME and in your own bed very soon!!

Thank you for posting that last photo before you head into several days of sleeplessness and not knowing if it's day or night. She's adorable! (We have those PJs, too.) Give yourself a couple weeks --

Congrats! Annabella is so beautiful! I am so glad to hear she is such a happy girl. Andy had the same foster mother and we know she is so wonderful. Good luck on the trip home!
