Alexis is getting used to the time change but has been a bit of a challenge. I'm sure it will take couple of days to get used to the new time zone. She's full of energy, loves the pool and love to take baths. So far we tried the car seat and stroller and no problem. She just want to do something all the time. Does not like to watch TV but loves to talk on the phone.

Home Sweet Home
Great to be home! We arrived Thursday night and we are doing well. We are not over from jet lag but trying to function the best we can. Our son John Francis is doing well and he already started music lessons and is getting ready for basketball camp.
I (Amanda) besides souvenirs from China also brought a nasty virus and a throat infection. I lost my voice so I communicate with Alexis thru sign language. And it is working!
Alexis is doing well and loving sunny Florida. Family and friends are so excited and happy to see her. Well, God is good, we have a beautiful and healthy girl. It was wonderful meeting so many families and spending time bonding with our baby with all of them. What a great group of families. All the children were beautiful and very special!
Well, we finally were able to update our blog, at least with pictures, we will add text each day.

Day 14
ACS Appointment - Farewell Dinner
The ACS appointment went well. The farewell dinner was fun but bittersweet because was the last time we ate as a group. The food was delicious but no pictures:-(
I think that day we also went to Lucy's and Starbucks. Actually, we went to Lucy's and Starbucks twice while in China and both times the food and the coffee was delicious. We eat pasta almost every day at home. I was craving for my pasta and I got it. It was a most needed break from Chinese food.
