In California!

Jahsin putting his foot down with Jaxon even while they sleep




We made it! Tuesday was a very long day for us. We took the kids to the Taipei zoo. It was so hot and humid out that most of the animals were not very active. But we had fun anyway. We spent a lot of time at the penguin house and panda house cause they were the two air conditioned places. We also found out that Jahsin does not like animals of any size. He would scream when ever we got close to a cage.
We got to the airport 4 hours before our flight and luckily found a playground close to our gate so the kids could run around. We were meeting my parents there because they had flew up from the south part if the island. We got a little nervous when we went to board and they weren't there. Their plane was an hour late so we sat on our plane for over an hour waiting for people from their flight. We were very nervous they weren't going to make it. We were excited to see them walk on till Jahsin saw my mom and freaked out! Luckily Jaxon had fallen asleep already but Jahsin then wanted nothing to do with us or sleeping. He spent the next 9 hours screaming on and off. Matt and mom walked him up and down the aisle. He would sleep for about 20 minutes then wake up screaming for 20 minutes. We finally laid him on the floor by our feet and he slept for about a straight hour then they turned the lights on for breakfast. He woke up as a happy boy wanting to talk to everyone. Jaxon was wonderful! He slept, woke up watched a movie and ate. He was excited to have a tv to himself that he was able to control. But after all that we made it! Got through customs and immigration with out a problem.
We got to my parents house around 1in the morning. We stayed up till 6am, then crashed, even the kids. Wendsday and Thursday were very long days. Our bodies were having a hard time adjusting to the jet lag. With my brothers wedding on Saturday we were very busy every day helping them get things done. We are looking forward to next week when we can rest and relax.

  1. I'm sure that flight felt like it would never end!!! So glad you're back in the states...soon you can "crash" in your own home and try to finally find your new normal. :)
