The trip home to America

Knowing that we would be flying 20 hours in an airplane with a baby brought us some anxiety. Will the flight bother her ears? What if she screams the whole time? Will there be turbulence? I hope the weather is good. Lord please no delays! All of these thoughts crossed my mind several times during the days before the long flight home. She was such a good baby but being in an airplane for 20 hours is a lot to expect of anyone, especially a 5 month old! Well, as you can see from the pictures, Ruby was an angel during all 3 flights. She slept 8 1/2 hours on one of the 9 hour flights. We were so thankful and praising God for answered prayers!

On the first long flight we were fortunate to have an extra seat between us. I love this daddy/daughter picture! She looks pretty content, don't ya think? :)

This was the airlines version of a bassinet. We were so surprised that she slept 8 1/2 hours in this crazy thing! (we did feed her and change her in those 8 hours, she just kept sleeping through it all)
