We had a wonderful reception of people (Elana, David and Adam and Debbie, Jane, Alex and Michael) meeting us when we came out US Customs in Washington Dulles. We are so greatful to have wonderful friends and family that were waiting to meet Jennifer Rose as soon as she got off the plane. Since it's 1:30 a.m. and my body is saying "what are you doing to me!?", I'll keep this post short and just put up the photos. Most of the photos are at the Dulles airport but there are a few with Elana as we are walking into our house (Elana was so great -- she drove us home with the baby in the new car seat and she had filled the refrigerator with wonderful stuff!).
We were so excited to have the US Customs agent stamp Jennifer's Chinese passport with the stamp that immediately makes her a US Citizen (we'll get the official paperwork within 45 days). We didn't have the nerve to ask for a picture with the Customs Agent!
After Elana drove us home, she stayed for a while and R and Elana gave J Ro a bath, gave her a bottle and put her in her new crib to sleep. We had a nice lunch of some of the great stuff the Elana had picked up (nice change from so much Chinese food). After I drove Elana home, R and I both totally fell asleep. We woke up a few times to change/feed the baby -- not something we're used to doing in our own house! Right now everyone is alseep so I'll go join them. We'll get a few hours of sleep and then tomorrow we have our first visit to Jennifer Rose's pediatrician. She'll likely check her over and do some blood work (hopefully no shots yet). We are so excited to be home with Jennifer Rose!
J & R.

Welcome home, guys. Love your final photo postings, including those red/white/blue baby outfits!
The story of Jennifer Rose's becoming a citizen at the airport was very special for us, mainly because of its connection with the storied lives of her great-grandparents. They also came to America from across the seas.
Congratulations dear Jennifer Rose.
Love, Grandma Theda and Grandpa Oscar
Welcome home! Loved the red, white and blue outfits! Enjoy this special time and congrats again!
Love, Joyce, Henry & Kevin
Welcome home! Home you can get some much needed rest, and that she settles in quickly.
Congratulations once again and welcome home with your beautiful daughter. Through all of these blogs Joe and I feel like we have gotten 3 granddaughters. Jennifer Rose is so adorable and you both are so blessed with such a big family and friends. Take a little time for yourselves and get the much needed rest that I am sure that you all need.
God Bless all three and Etu and Gene.
Much Love Kathleene and Joe
