Laine Fong: January 2009

Laine and I have returned from our holiday travel extravaganza! We visited 3 states, spent 20+ hours in the car and met a bunch of new relatives. A few of the highlights included Laine meeting my maternal grandmother, aunt, uncles, cousins and second cousins. We also spent several days with Aunt Wendy, Uncle Jeff and Trey before they left for Nepal for the semester. It was very sad to see them go, but we are very excited for there opportunity for them (Laine was very caring when mommy was crying.) We also took time for Laine to play with the children of my lifelong friend, it was really a joy to watch our children play as we had as girls. The lowlights included the hospitalization of my grandmother, although I'm happy to report that she is on the path to recovery. We also missed seeing some of our China travel friends (I know, again!) it feels like we were gone a while, but it was a packed trip. As if to point this out to me, when we finally got home yesterday Laine took a 5 hour nap! We took today to recover and then back to real life tomorrow.
