Heading to Chicago- the hand holding lasted for about 10 seconds until Gideon was totally over it, but it was cute while it lasted.
At O'Hare- we had 11 checked bags! A huge THANK YOU to Evan and Zach for driving us and our stuff down.
There was a slight hiccup when they told us they had to weigh our carry ons (they were all a few pounds overweight since we had to pack for about two weeks of traveling in them). I almost cried, but we were able to move some stuff to the large bags and they didn't even charge us extra! Evan helped us rearrange and weigh bags while Zach helped run after Gideon:)
Waiting for our plane.
It wasn't a full flight so we got two rows of seats to ourselves!
I sat with Raquel and Roman while Dylan and Gideon sat behind us.
Before we took off Raquel prayed very loudly that we wouldn't crash. I'm sure it was very comforting to those around us:)
Do you see the exhaustion in Dylan's smile?:) Yes, Gideon did sleep- AFTER a few hours of crying, screaming, running up and down the aisles of the plane and just causing general mayhem. It didn't help that he was getting a nasty cold.
Roman was a good baby and just ate and slept
After our 15 hour flight we arrived in Hong Kong. We spent the night at a hotel there and got a few hours of sleep.
Waiting for our plane in Hong Kong- one of Gideon's rare 'still' moments. I think it's because he was eating.
Our second flight was pretty uneventful except we realized that Gideon had a fever and then I started to feel a little achy.
When we landed it was hot! We stood in line at immigration for some time during which Raquel had a meltdown and refused to walk at one point and Gideon tried to escape our grasp at all times. He ended up throwing his pacifier onto an elevator.
So we're here! We are trying to get some rest. I had a fever last night but I think it's finally over. Now we're just all really tired and look kind of like this.
We are very thankful for everyone who was praying for us- the Lord is so faithful.
It's good to be back!
