We're leavin' on a jet plane...

Actually we already left.  But I still have that song going through my head.  Probably because it is 2:42 am and I've been up since 11pm because I made a serious mistake and took a 'nap' at noon which continued until 11pm.  Bad idea when trying to recover from jet lag!!!  We came back to China after a great stay in the US.  We saw friends and family and had so much fun!  It was hard for Kyle and I to come back.  But our kids were SO excited!  I couldn't believe how happy they were to be back.  They kept telling us how excited they were to be home!  It surprised me, but I guess this is the only home they have known for a couple of years.  It is interesting to me how as parents we think about all the things that we can't give them here, and how small this apartment is, and how difficult it is to feed them.  But as kids they don't think about anything like that.  They think of this as home, they don't care about having more room, they don't care about the things they are missing out on, they only know that this is home, this is where we have done life now for two years.  So they are really really happy to be back :)
 Last American food and it was delicious!
 'Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again, oh no, I hate to go!'
 Airplane fun.  These kids love flying!
 Late night dinner: popcorn.  They could not have been happier.
 About a year ago we reported a major mold problem due to leaks in the pipes.  Yes, a year ago.  While we were gone this is how they finally fixed it.  nice.
The mess that I need to address.  I think this is the real reason I went and got in bed at noon today.  Too much to handle after 20+ hours in airports and airplanes!
