Day 2!
Ainsley and Emme sometime early morning!!!! Emme woke up at 3am and I was so tired that sweet Ainsley took over for me!! This is how I found them.. No clue what time it was!
Emme loved taking a bath with Sienna and Ruby! She had a very happy day with her Jie Jie's!! And, the big sisters love playing with her. They are doing a great job of sharing their new baby sister!!!

We are Home!!
This is the last photo I took of Emme Jade in China as she is waiting to board our flight to Tokyo... There is something bitter sweet about it to me... Saying goodbye to what she is familiar with, and hello to the unknown I guess...
Thank you for the prayers for our journey to Minneapolis. After we survived the first leg, Emme did do very well on the long flight home. We managed to keep her busy until she finally fell asleep for the last 3-4 hours! Answered prayer!!! What a welcome site it was to see our family and friends waiting for us! Sienna and Ruby were a site for tired eyes! They were so precious and excited! Thanks to all of you that were there to love on us!
Sienna and Ruby took their role of big sisters so seriously right away.. It did not take Emme long to relax and get down on the floor with them. The next thing I know Sienna takes her hand and she starts leading her to her new life.. And, then she calls over to Ruby to take her other hand... It was so sweet....
As expected, Emme was not one bit excited about her car seat! Ruby will tell you it was a very loud trip home... She finally accepted this new fate of hers, about 10 minutes before we pulled into our driveway! I am sure it will take a few trips in the car for this to get easier!
Sienna and Ruby were excited to show Emme the house, her room, and our swing set. Emme was shocked by the feel of the grass on her feet.. So, Ruby jumped in to make that all better!
Sienna picked up Emme to get her little feet off the grass... This hug says it all.... She is going to be Emme's protector!
Thank you Jill and Mary for these sweet dresses... It was a beautiful first afternoon together. We managed to keep the "Little Bean" entertained until 7:30.. She is sleeping peacefully in her new room!
I will post photos of from the airport that Liz took soon!! I was able to take it all in, while she played photographer for us... again!
A few special quotes from the afternoon... At the swing set Emme was going down the slide. I asked Sienna to catch her.. Sienna said to me, "Don't worry Mom, I will never let her fall!"
Tucking Ruby in, she said Mom... "I love Emme Jade.. She is pretty, nice, she's good at cleaning up and she's funny too!"
She is all that... And, so much more!
Welcome Home Emme Jade! We love you!
