Cheesecake at Union Square

Just before landing in Boston after 30+ hours of travel time.

We are home and all trying to get back on a flipped time zone. The little man was an incredible traveler--sleeping 7 straight hours on the plane and then another 3 of the 12. We had a great time in San Francisco on our 8 hour lay over with a great friend from my London days (who I have greatly missed in my life) and her husband. We saw the Golden Gate Bridge, ate goooooood Mexican, drove down the windiest road in the States, ate some yum yum cheesecake, took showers, bathed the boy, enjoyed cool company, and got on the red eye for Boston.

The boy slept most of the way and we landed at Boston at 6:45 AM to a crisp 7 F or -13C. Leilani let us borrow her car and drive straight home. It feels good to be back in our house (we really like our house, even in it's after flood mess) and be back with everyone here. The little kiwi is sleeping pretty darn well considering and slowly getting into a new schedule. Mike and I can't seem to get to sleep earlier than 11PM--we just lie in bed, eyes wide open but we are slowly getting back on track.

New Zealand was fantastic--a welcomed break, time to reflect, reconnect with family, and introduce the little kiwi to his incredibly loving, passionate, giving, and supportive kiwi family.

That picture of Lars and the Cammock Grandparents would look awesome framed in his room. Especially in black and white. And I love the ear shots!
Glad you are back to your US home safe and sound.

Glad you are home safely. I've been reading about all your adventures in kiwi land...just not commenting much.

The boy is really growing up and is getting his own cute personality.
