Were Home!
First here are3 quick photos.
Now for an update since everyone is sleeping except me.
The flight from Seoul to LA was tough. Benjamin was very upset and cried for 7 of the 9 hours. However the flight crew was amazing. The captain of the 747 held Benjamin for some time and sang to him. The captain also took Benjamin into the cockpit, so our little guy got an up close tour of a 747! After that several of the flight attendants took turns carrying Benjamin on their backs (babies from Korea love to ride on peoples backs). This was a big help to us and to Benjamin. With about 2 hours left in the flight our little guy finally feel asleep and slept on Lisa for the last 2 hours. We de-planed and Benjamin was nothing but smiles as he got to ride in the stroller that Eastern allowed us to use (another big help in the trip home, Benjamin loves to ride in the stroller). All of the flight crew got to see Benjamin happy, smiling, and babbling while we wait to clear immigration.
Immigration and customs was a breeze. We gave the office our paper work, claimed our luggage and had to wait maybe 5 minutes for immigration. Customs was just as easy, they asked if we had any fruits or meats, which we did not and sent us on our way.
We got to our gate for the flight to Saint Louis and found out we were delayed for an hour. We find a nice little customer service area and we all crash for about a half hour. The flight to Saint Louis ended up being a breeze (I think all of the prayers really helped) since Benjamin slept on Brad for the whole 3 hours.
We had a great home coming! All of our family and friends that could make it were there and Benjamin was awake and smiling!
The first night was very difficult and Benjamin did not sleep much, Benjamin was very upset but this is all to be expected. Today went much better, we feed Benjamin some rice cereal which he ate the entire bowl and then took a good nap.
Well it is almost 1am on Wednesday and I hear someone starting to fuss so it is about time from a bottle. Check back in a day or two for some more updates each day gets better and better!
