January 31st, we woke up and got to breakfast, Kinley was waiting for us and Lily and Kinley had some small chat, then we ate, Lily was very cute, she kept playing games with daddy and it was a lot of fun.

                            In the White Swan hotel Mattel has a room for the babies to play in, Mattel also gave us a barbie doll "going home" edition which we will save for Lily.                                     again, I can't help myself... check out this MB minivan... this is what we need now!

          Jonah was ready for the plane ride to Hong Kong.      Lily did great for the next flight and here we are checking out of Hong Kong in the morning Feb 1st ready to go home!      

At the Hong Kong airport Lily got to hang out with Cari and Janella... they had a bunch of fun with Cheerios, remember when Cheerios would make you happy? 

The flight was awful, if was full and painful... I wish it on nobody, I have no advice, there is nothing you can do to make the torture any better... just pray, keep getting up and walking around and pray mostly that you will not have a full flight.

  Here she is... Miss America!  With that step in Chicago into the terminal Lily Grace Johnson officially became a US Citizen, too bad we were so beat up from the trip to enjoy it.          Her Aunt Colette from Milwaukee met us at the airport to see Lily:     When we arrived in Jax, we waited for our bus when our friends Tina, Benny Ray and Kayla visited with us, it was so nice to see friends/family during our return.             

Finally... home!  Lily seemed to know right away that this is home, she played with some toys and even sat in her crib.          Chloe was only happy that Jeremy had a nice warm jacket for her to lay in... other than that I don't know if she noticed we were gone.            this was her first evening, we made sure to layer her and she slept for a few hours, then on Feb 2nd we woke up at 4:30 for breakfast.  Daddy made eggs and oatmeal.  She liked her new highchair and loved hanging out!                       Daddy and Jonah got caught up on Popular Science while Mommy took pictures and showed Lily her dolls that have been waiting for her.                 The morning was a wonderful welcome home, there were even three hot air balloons up above our house saying WELCOME HOME LILY.
