Back In The U.S.A

Yes, Mommy is singing the tune to "Back in the USSR" as she writes the title to today's post.

The flight back wasn't too bad. Clara slept in a bed Mommy created for her on the floor below the seats. This flight was on a newish plane and Mommy, Daddy, Clara and Emma all sat together in the middle row. Clara slept almost the entire ride to NY. Emma... well, not so much. She enjoyed some dvds and trying to fall asleep. Once she did, she slept for a few hours before waking up screaming in pain. Mommy did master changing a really poopie diaper from Emma (yes, she pooped- first time in a few days) on the plane... why dont these planes have more space for changing children???

The gang arrived back in the States at about 6:45 am. Mommy and Daddy were happy to have a greeter provided by HSBC that guided the crew through passport control, baggage claim and pick up- and basically allowed us to skip any lines! It was fantastic. Clara and Emma got right in their car seats that had been left with the car service and after some singing, fell asleep on the way home. Mommy and Daddy took them in and put them in their cribs and they slept until 12, as did Mommy and Daddy. After a nice lunch together, Clara and Emma helped Mommy and Daddy unpack.

Clara arrived home with a cold- stuffy nose and cough but is in good spirits.
