Home Sweet Home

We are home and so much to post where do I begin?   We landed in SFO around noon  and hurried over to OAK to catch a flight, no go, overbooked. Since we seldom actually purchase tickets we are complete rookies and only booked Hong Kong to San Francisco, so we had to non rev it home. Thanks to Tom, Coll and the wonderful people at Delta we made it on a 6 p.m out of Oakland. The entire Delta crew was amazing and did their best to get all 5 of the extremely tired Mohr family on a  full flight. The inflight were very gracious and excited share in our journey to add a one  Mohr to our family. The earlier break between allowed for a quick visit with John and Mitzie (GMA and GPA) so ZiXuan was able to spend a couple hours with them and ride in a car seat for the first time.

We came to the airport with friends waiting at the bottom of the escalator. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the effort, so great to see all of you. Tom met us with station wagon and car seat, he is able to speak to ZiXuan a bit so that makes her light up and reach out to hold him. We were amazed at the outpouring of love and thoughtfulness.  Kirsten Macintyre  delivered a beautiful hand crafted high chair, monogrammed with the letter "M". We were met by people we know and love from our local Utah / Chinese adoption community. Again, I use the word community in our blog. Zi Xuan definitely feels it she was truly her little charming self tonight around the residents of D Street. Coll and Tami you were missed and we hope to see you soon.

Everyone took separate cars from the airport, and waited for me to arrive and take ZiXuan into her new home, she did not miss a beat. Gifts, flowers, supplies and lots of love from everyone, we even have a custom "Welcome Home Catherine Xuan Mohr" banner plastered outside. The love and joy are truly genuine and I go to bed tonight wrapped up in that feeling. The feeling that she will be loved, she has a community, and it seems as though she has been patiently waiting for this day to arrive. Tonight she danced, handed out free hugs and showed some of her darling personality. A warm bottle, new jams  and a beautiful crib, she is sleeping away.

Thanks to everyone for making our homecoming so special. We are truly blessed to have each and everyone of you in our lives.

Pics to come... tomorrow
