My last post left us in the airport around 3:00 yesterday. I think around 4 we got in line to check our bags and receive boarding passes. Then on to get our visa's stamped and then finally we were into the airport part. Thankfully, there were a couple of coffee shops, and Cinnabon open so we were able to get some food and some caffeine.
Poor Sophie was so tired and by this point so was Savannah. Sophie took a couple of 30 minute naps during the day, but when she was awakened against her will at 6:45am, that makes for a long day. When we finally got on the airplane at 7:45, I expected to feed her and then for her to sleep in my arms the whole flight. To my surprise, when they dimmed the lights for take-off, Savannah fell asleep on her backpack and slept the whole flight, but Sophie slept not a wink.
By 10:30 we were off the plane, changed money, gotten our visa's and found all of our baggage. When we walked out there was a crowd of people waiting for us. A short trip and we were finally done with our long journey.
We have our own apartment in a small apartment building owned by some friends and many of our friends that came with us are here too. When we got here, it was obvious that many people had been anticipating our arrival. There is a baby bed and a high chair for Sophie.
There are groceries and home baked goodies. A huge batch of brownies, blueberry muffins, oatmeal muffins, and chocolate cookies. There was a big pot of home made chicken chili smelling up the house along with chips and cheese. There milk, juice and coke in the fridge.
Emily was most excited to see Trix cereal on the counter. After checking out all the groceries, Emily came to me and said, "Mommy, I think these are going to be our best friends ever! Look at all the food they gave us!"
