We were so Blessed to have my nephews take this journey with us. I know I hadn't traveled with either of them so i was a little nervous to see how we'd all get along with so much togetherness in the next few weeks. No worries though they were great and stepped up big time not only for our family but the others in our group. Thank you guys!!!
I just sent them a text and said this is probably what was going on around this time... 😜
The boys must have known it was a special day too as they were up bright, and loud, and crabby this am... No private potty time at our house this am.. ugh.. I know I'll miss these days in the future. just not as much as other moments. lol. Reminded me of the day they just HAD to come in the squatty potty with me in China.
Here is a bit from the post back then.
Nian had a great time on the short flight from GRR to DTW. I got a 2 second nap but we go in early. who hoo an extra 25 mins added to our 4.5 layover... well geesh by time we got off the plane we used those 25 mins. We had breakfast at Max and Erma's them headed to our gate around 9am. I think I have the 2 other families spotted that had said they would be on our flight. I later, once in China, found out they are both with the same agency (not ours) and were sitting right by each other. This trip we had no one from CCAI with us as we did last time. Evan is fast asleep at the gate and Caleb is working on his own post.
I hope I can get some sleep on this next leg of our journey, Nian seems to be the most awake of all of us. The people moves are a favorite of his again not surprise! The biggest issue so far this trip has been my loss of my emerald from my engagement ring. I have no idea when or where I lost it. I just looked down shortly after boarding in GR and say it was gone. Thank God we have insurance. Guess this will help us to finally get that new setting we've been discussing for a while now.
We found a play area for Nian, not what I was expecting but it kept him busy for about an hour. In fact I thought we'd be late for our flight but no worry on that. Nian was so full of energy and I was about to keel over from lack of sleep. We headed back to the gate and go started boarding around 1115.
As we had hoped no one purchased the single seat in our row. That was nice to stretch out a bit. About an hour into the flight the Big Pop Spill occurred. Didn't see that coming at all..... but he is SUPER excited about the trip and bringing little brother home, He crashed about 20 mins later - hope I can get some sleep.. lol yeah right
The boys have been great and we're all a bit tired. They say the flight should only take 13 ours which is nice but it's only been 2 hours at this point.. 11 more to go.
