So we've been home for 4 days now. Lexie has been wonderful. No problems, loves all her new toys, her new room and playing with big brother Cole. The time change of 12 hour difference has been the killer. They sleep during the day, wake in the middle of the night etc. Two days ago they slept for 6 hours in the middle of the day. Yesterday they both woke up at 2:30 a.m. ready for breakfast and playing! Mom and Dad definitely were not ready though.... Well I decided I would keep them awake all day and let them go to bed around 6ish so they could get reprogrammed. So we kept them extremely busy, out shopping, playing games etc. Well Lexie crashed at 5:00 p.m but she slept till 5:00 a.m. so that was great and Cole crashed hard at 6:00 p.m. and woke at 4:00 a.m. So the plan for tonight is to get them until 7:00 and then hopefully they will sleep till 6 or 7 tomorrow as Cole goes back to school tomorrow so he needs to be on his toes.
Lexie had her physical Friday and all went great! She was happy to be there until shot time when she screamed hysterically.
Now I am dealing with a sick husband. He has a fever and cough (probably from the terrible pollution we were all plagued by). Good thing family has been with us to help out since he's in bed and quarantined to the bedroom. I am keeping my fingers crossed the rest of us stay healthy!
That's all for now. I will try to post more photos over the next day or so. Thank you for everyone's emails and phone calls. Your support has been great!
Family of 3 soon to be 4!

Welcome home, what an amazing trip. I hope you keep blogging once you settle in, its been lovely to have a glimpse of your family.
Congratulations!!!!
Beth, Just read your post...glad Lexie is settling in well. The time adjustment is a killer. We still have not battled that one yet either - hopefully tonight (Tues). Found out that Natalee had Influenza type A - which is what Kyle had and when we returned Megan got it too. I've been healthy though thank goodness. Hope Kysle feels better soon and the rest of you stay well.
Take care,
kristin
