We're Home




Zack's feet touching US ground just after customs at San Fran!!!!!


Ok, sorry for not posting for a couple days...

We had a long but wonderful trip home. Zack slept for 7 HOURS on the plane ride home!!!! We had the bassinet on EVA Airlines with the bulkhead seats in their delux class. Hear me now...You must do this if you are traveling with an infant!!! Or first class, but we can't freakin afford that!

We also had a two room suite at the hotel which I highly reccomend. Zack was really used to sleeping in a crib so we would rock him to sleep and put him down, then we could shut the door between our rooms and make noise in our room and have the lights on without worrying about waking him. It worked out really well. I don't know what we would have done in a single room with him taking two naps a day.

We are home now and Luke is finally home with us!!! I missed him so much!!! They are doing so well together. Luke is learning to share mom and dad and is doing much better than expected. We'll see how things go as we get more comfy.

Zack has really started to prefer Dad to mom, which we were told may happen. He will still let me hold him, and put him to sleep and feed him. He just generally prefers Dad over mom given the choice. He just doesn't always get a choice!!

More later...here are some photos as requested!!
