Happy New Year...

After a nice long visit back in the US it was time to head home. Jaydon did a pretty good job on the trip, I still think the short domestic flights are a lot more difficult than the long-hauls over the ocean with a baby. The worst part about going home (besides leaving everyone behind) was that we had to take 2 flight just to get to DC to start the 16 hour flight. That makes for a very looong day for everyone but Jaydon did sleep for more than half the flight home. We sat next to a mom and her 13 month old daughter who was flying with a bunch of other relatives on the plane. They would come by every so often and read the little girl stories or play with her and Jaydon thought they were lots of fun. He laughed at their games and was interested in their stories and it helped a bunch to have other people entertaining him. Jaydon did pick up what the doctor called 'travellers tummy' on the way home. It waited until the next day to show itself but poor Jaydon had awful diarrhea for about 4 days straight. This made getting over the jet lag and getting into the new time zone very difficult. He also ended up passing it on to Steve and I. No pictures in this posting because I spent New Years Eve throwing up and New Years day curled up on the couch in a ball. It hit Steve the next day. It took about 12 days to get Jaydon back into his routine and sleeping at night and once that happened we were all happy to be home again. We've decided that we're going to save our New Years celebrating for the Chinese New Year which we will be in Hong Kong for. We will definitely have pictures for that...
