The Final Countdown Begins

Its 8:00am on Saturday morning in Chicago. We've got 4 pieces of luggage, 4 boxes, 5 carry-ons, 1 car seat, 1 stroller, and 3 cars making their way to Chicago O'Hare airport in the next 30 minutes or so. At about 8:00pm on Sunday evening, we expect to pull up in front of our house in Shenzhen. Still no seat for Annika. Still no Economy Plus for long-legged Dave. But everyone slept well last night, woke up feeling well this morning, and feels nice about finally going home.

Saying good-bye to her aunts, uncles and cousins last night, someone told Sophia:
Aunt Jenny: We'll see you later!
Sophia: (very seriously) No, you won't. We're going to another country. We won't see you for a long, long time.

Cousin Norah answered, Have a good Christmas next year!

Three weeks passed by far too fast, but it is always nice to go home.
