Zàijiàn Taiwan

On Tuesday night, April 27th, we said our final goodbye to Chad, Cole, Alicia, Caitlyn and Allyson Edwards.  We were so thankful for them opening their home to us and showing their city to us.  We love you and miss you and look forward to the day we can all go to a Cardinals game together!

 

We flew out of Taiwan on Eva Air at 11:55 PM.  We recommend this airline to anyone traveling to the far east.  

Samuel slept for 9 1/2 hours in this bassinet on the flight to Los Angeles.  

Samuel got his first stamp in his passport on this trip home!  

It was such a special moment to walk out the door of the LAX airport and stand on American soil with our son for the first time.

We were really, really tired.  We had a four hour layover in LAX.  I slept with Samuel on the floor of the airport.

We were thrilled to reach our final leg of the journey home...Dallas/Fort Worth to St. Louis.  

 

 We were greeted by several church family and friends at the St. Louis airport.  They even had a welcome sign for us at our home!  Thank you again to everyone who made this day extra special for us!

 We went for a brief walk around our neighborhood with Samuel and introduced him to some of our neighbors.

To end this tiring, but wonderful day, we had devotions together before going to bed.

We loved our trip to Taiwan and all the experiences that came with it, but like Dorthy said, "There's no place like home...there's no place like home."
