Safe And Sound back In OKC!

























































32 hours after we left Hanoi, we made it home to OKC. We had an awesome welcome waiting for us as you can see in the photos. The flights were very smooth and Emma was great! She never cried, and slept 8 of the 11 hours on the flight from Tokyo. As I type this, she is still asleep and has been sleeping for 12 hours! It is so awesome to see her finally sleeping in her bed, in her room, in our home! We had a great trip to Vietnam and look forward to taking her back when she is older. We want to extend a special thank you to Alex, Eric, Jack, Joelle, Johanna, and Sam for their friendship. We had so much fun hanging out with you the past two weeks! We also want to thank our children, families and friends for all of their love and support. You have been a big part of this dream. Finally we want a special thank you to Abby and Kelly for all they have done for us! We could not have completed this journey to Vietnam without all of your help! THANK YOU!!! We'll be posting again soon! Love, Thomas, Cathy, & Emma!!!

PS, Oh one more thing. Our PCN Panther Cheer squad won the 5A state championship yesterday in competative cheer! Congrats girls, we are so proud of you and wish we could have been there! We'll see you this week! Love you guys, TK, CK, and EK

I would just like to say that I shared your flight from Houston to OKC. I was sitting right behind you folks while we waited in Bush and I watched your family enjoy that time.

I wanted so badly to speak, but I did not want to intrude. It was beautiful watching and I couldn't wait to see this blog. That little girl is simply beautiful.

Congratulations to you and welcome home, Emma.

Glad to see you home safely. Sounds like Emma was an angel on the flight. She looks great in her crib!

Wow, all the photos are beautiful.

Congratulations to the parents ! And welcome home Emma !

PS: Her crib looks so cute and comfortable. In my opinion, a big pillow is not needed for toddlers since their head is still relatively larger than their body. I think the mattress is soft enough for their head to lie on.
