Our long trip and jet lag

 It has been quite the 4 days!  It has taken until now to see a slow trickle of sleep patterns onto South African time but last night all slept from midnight until 8am.  Praying for even better tonight.  The night before E awoke at 1:30am and could NOT go back to sleep. It was a long day of random naps and trying to convince a very grumpy child that sleeping during the day was not a good idea regardless as to how tired he was.  

We have arrived at our first "home" away from home.  This place will be our home for the next 2 weeks.  The kids are enjoying the hot and humid weather and pool to go with it.  

Tomorrow is our first meet with our new son!  All of us are very excited!  We will be visiting his home and just playing with all the children there so he can observe us and interact at a level he is comfortable with.

Our travels in pictures.  

Getting ready for our 6 our flight from Toronto to Amsterdam.   The airport was a breeze, no lines to be found. 

Girls watching the sunrise in Amsterdam(this is at 4am old time, nobody had slept yet!)

Who needs first class?  We were blessed to have 6 seats for the 5 of us on our 11 hour flight to Johannesburg. E took full advantage to get some shut eye.

We spent Monday visiting friends before taking a short flight to Durban Tuesday morning.  This is the Indian Ocean from our plane window.
