After a 14 hour flight, we finally arrived...

Believe it or not, the 14 hour flight wasn't that bad! The girls slept about 10/11 hours out of the total 14. Not bad is you ask us... since we were worried about embarking on such a long flight with a 23 month old and a 9 week old! God Bless the staff on the Air New Zealand flight!

Luckily upon our arrival, Scott was there to great us and drive us from the airport to our new adoptive home. Did we mention that is was 6:00 am NZ time and that we still had another 2 hours to drive!!! Thank God for Scott since we were in no shape to drive on the opposite side of the road, let alone find our way home. The drive was breathtaking! We watched the sunrise along the coast as it gently warmed the cool salty air. The views were absolutely spectacular. Unfortunately, we weren't lucid enough to remember to take some photos:( Sorry about that but we will redeem ourselves!

What a welcoming! When we finally arrived at the house, the fireplace had warmed the house, some groceries and some meals were already made, and most importantly, the beds were ready for us (God Bless Munti and Cheryl)!!! So Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Mackenzie Bear and Breeana Bear all went to sleep.
