Shhhhhh. She is asleep.

We came back from China last night. What a hellacious return trip. Nina has come down with some bug and is laid up in bed with tissues in her nose. I started my antibiotics a few days ago and have begun to feel a lot better. I think we caught something from Leia. Ahhhhh parenthood.

Right now Leia is snoozing away in her crib. Our old family rocking chair has come into good use now. Leia will rest her head on my chest and I we will both fall asleep. Once I am sure she is in dreamland I will carefully place her into the crib. It is like defusing a bomb. One false move and BLAMMO, she is up. I call it cutting the red wire. But I think my technique has improved.

One piece of our luggage was lost. The one with all of the gifts. Luckily they found it and are dropping it off at our house today. Sunday at that. So despite the headache we will give American Airlines kudos for getting it back to us.

Nina and I would also like to thank all of our friends and family that have helped us out. Jeff for watching our house. Rachel and family for stopping buy to water our plants and for providing us with food on our return to we did not have to go out shopping right away. And also my Mom and Jady for driving us home from the airport.

Well its onto parenthood. I hear a faint whimper coming from upstairs. Until later.
