Sunday 2nd August







Home at last!!!
We arrived home safely but utterly exhausted on Thursday lunchtime having been travelling for about 18 hours. Mae had slept 2 of those!!
She was a darling on the flight, only crying when we took off and at landing... the cabin pressure obviously affecting her little ears. Otherwise, she played happily the whole time. I must admit though, I did feel very sorry for the poor cleaners who would have to deal with the debris she managed to create and we left behind.
Once home, Mum was here to greet us, followed swiftly by Chris, Tash, Tim and the girls (Saffron & Bea). They couldn't wait to meet their new cousin and it seemed the feeling was mutual, as Mae beamed from ear to ear when she saw them.
The house was full of balloons and gifts which was so lovely - again, we just can't believe the kindness of all our fabulous friends and family. I guess they've also been waiting 5 years for this little one to join our family too.
Mae's settling in to her new nursery - although we're struggling a little with the adjustment to UK time but we're getting there.
Will post more pics as soon as we have a chance to download more of the China trip. In the meantime, here are a few taken since we arrived home.

Hey - you're home! I just read your latest entry - only a behind! Would love to come and see the little ankle-biter (Mae not Will). I'm on jury service next week (aka a total infringement of my civil liberties) but could pop over one evening if you can cope with visitors? Claire xx
