Thank God were Home!!!

God is so great and faithful!!! I must start out by giving him all the praise and glory he deserves. He gives me the strength everyday to do all the things that must be done. He gives me sleep when there wasn't much at all the last week. We had an amazing and wonderful trip once again to China!! But we are so happy to be home and trying to get our schedules back on track! Flights home went well.Just the last part of the big flight Noah got really really sick.He had a really high fever and was just miserable.My heart hurt seeing my boy so sick. Aubrey was great with him!She was rubbing his little arm and trying to make him feel better. These two have really bonded well. She was really concerned for her little brother. Her and Madison are doing great also.She really looks up to Madison and wants to do everything Madison does. So finally we arrived home after being delayed several times in Chicago!! The wait was TERRIBLE!! So close to my family and friends but so far away!Sitting in an airport with my sick baby and longing to be home with my family!! We'll we have been home a little over a week and things are going well!! They are actually much better than I expected. We have had a few small issues here and there but nothing God didn't get us thru. The first night we were home Aubrey slept in her room with Madison. The next night we ran to Walmart for grocery's and all the kids were home with Blake. Aubrey was falling asleep in the guest room so Madison ask her if she wanted her to tuck her in?WRONG THING TO DO!!But she thought she was just being helpful. She put Aubrey in her bed went out and shut the door. We walked in just a few minutes later and Aubrey was screaming!!She was terrified. I went down and held her close and tryed to get the stupid translator to work so she could tell me what was wrong. She said mama I didnt know where you was?Madison left and I didn't know where your room was. I felt absolutely terrible!!I assured her it would not happen again. she was so scared we had all gone and left her. So she has slept with me in my bed until LASTNIGHT!!She is such a great little girl!!! She has been going in Noah's room and tugging him in with me at night then to Mia's and Madison's.I guess after a week of seeing them being big girls and boy's she wanted to try.So she slept in her room like a big girl lastnight! She is really afraid of the doors being closed. So we assured her the closet and the bedroom door would stay open.She was a CHAMP and slept all night and was as happy as could be when she got up!!! Thank you Lord!!We are building trust! She has done wonderfully since we have arrived home!Sometimes  we have had a few melt downs when she didnt get her way.But when she seen that didnt work she snapped out of it. I try to be very loving and understanding but I must be firm also. I have to remember she is nine years old and not a baby.Poor Noah has had a terrible time getting his sleep adjusted again.Aubrey is doing great .After the first couple days where she would have slept all day! Prayers for Noah he is still struggling but things are getting better. Poor Madison and Mia have had the same sickness Noah had when we first got home. I'm ready for a house of well children is an understatement.Aubrey is bonding well and we are all doing great also.God is awesome!! Sorry it's took so long to update but the sleep has been minimal.
