Meeting Family and Friends for the first time! (12-22-06 and 12-23-06)

(Click image to see additional pictures / slideshow.
Note: There maybe several pages of pics.)

We left Hong Kong on December 22, 2006 and after a flight at least halfway around the world...we arrived (exhausted!!) in Memphis (via LAX) on the same day since China time is 14 hours ahead of Memphis time.

The pics for today are of Caroline and Family and Friends who met us at the airport for our Homecoming. We don't have too many pictures from the airport as most of us were too emotional to even think about taking pictures. Thank you to Sean Canaday (who works for Northwest) for getting the great pics of us getting off of the plane with Caroline. Thank you also to Beverly and Glenys Moore for sending us the pics that they took at the airport.
Also a special Thank You to Christopher Speechley for video taping our arrival. He got some really neat and special footage of everyone there and I hope to be able to post the video to the blog...as soon as I figure out how to do that!!

Lastly, thank you to all of our Family and Friends who were at the airport to meet Caroline upon our arrival. It really meant so much to Sean and I...more than you will ever know!
For the purpose of our journal I want to remember our Family and Friends who were there! Family included: Mom (Caroline's Gailie), Sean's Mom, Paula (Caroline's Nai Nai), GG, Anne and Katie McCormack, Bette Gordon, Christopher Speechley, Calvin Griggs
Friends included: Katie and Virginia Wilson, Beverly and Glenys Moore, Angela, Sean and Cassie Canaday, Amy and Megan Patterson, Lois Pittman, Patricia Shappley, Lana and Rick Owens, Tonia Jackson, Peggy Scruggs, Candy and Bob Willis, Flo Patton, Lynne Witherington and Grace and Corinne Terhune.

On December 23rd, we visited Nanny's house where Caroline met her Nanny and also met one of her Grandfathers, Sean's Dad who came into town from Tampa, FL to meet her!


More Christmas pics still to come!
