At approximately 5 a.m. Saturday morning, U.S. time, we boarded our first flight headed home. On Monday morning at 2 a.m., Gib and I fell into the comfort of our own bed, having returned to the best welcome home party at the airport and a spotless apartment, courtesy of our friends. I already knew that we had the best friends in the world, but they still surprised us with both of these acts.

Monday morning at 10:15 a.m., we arrived at my parents' house to see the smiling face of our boy for the first time in 2.5 weeks. It felt surreal, seeing that smile in person, hearing him say all of the new words he's learned in the last two weeks and actually getting to hold my boy. It was one sweet reunion!

To say that we had a great trip is both true and a huge understatement. We can't wait to share some of the highlights, but for now, we are enjoying time with our little dude and the trip processing process together… and trying to adjust our sleep schedules!

Here's a pic of our team on one of the most beautiful roads in northern Thailand:
