Whenever Jerod was trying to talk with someone who only spoke Chinese, as a last ditch effort to communicate, he would start speaking Spanish. It never got the point across any better than English, but without fail he would try. It was entertaining to watch, but I'm glad we're head back down South where we can understand the language and twang much better.
We fly out this morning (tonight for you) and get into Birmingham at 4:35 on Friday the 29th. Could there be a worse time to land? 4:30 Friday afternoon???? No pressure at all, but if you want to come to the airport we would love to see you. I have no idea what shape we'll be in but, hey, why not make it a party? We'll try to post here if something changes or atleast to Facebook. Thanks for sticking with the
saga for 16 days!
Much love,
Allison and Jerod

Enjoy the trip back home Allison and Jerod. And welcome to America Collins! She will be a US citizen when she lands. But WAY BETTER than that, is that she has been placed into a family, a CRAZY family, and she will get to meet her sister and brothers. What a wonderful story of redemption. And tell Jerod that I always speak Span-ese also when I am in China.

praying for you all...you should be landing any minute!!! welcome back to Bham!!! If you ever want some park play with some other China sweeties, we would love to meet you and Collins :)
ReplyDeleteoh and the 2 weeks home I referred to the first time as the hardest 2 weeks no one ever warned me about...B slept the entire flight home and had such a hard time adjusting to US time...J on the other hand kept us up the entire flight back and then the tough 2 weeks I was prepared for never happened because she hopped right on US time...hoping for you all that Collins has been WIDE awake on the flights now that they are over and sleep will come easy here :)
