We left the hotel at 6 am to make our first flight of the day… a four and a half hour flight to Tokyo. Five minutes into the flight she fell asleep and we watched two movies, thinking “our child is a dream, this is a piece of cake!”. We then had a four hour layover in Tokyo. She spent it running back and forth between us, either playing with her stacking cups or Todd giving her ‘trot trot to Boston’ while trying to check email. She was a real trooper. We were thinking that the next 12 hour flight shouldn’t be so bad. 
Once we got on she was wide awake and did ok as long as she was in my lap, so trying to put her to sleep on the seats between us was five minutes of crying. Needless to say she got lots of sleep on my lap and when we got home I was exhausted. Luke/Stocky and Clara were our “pick-up crew” as everyone else was out of state. Violet got her first ride in a car seat but with the smoothness of the Explorer and the driver she wasn’t car sick! Good News! Clara painted two signs, one at my parent’s house and one at ours, how awesome! 
Our pick up crew was great! They dropped us off to unpack any essentials, we all walked up to the store for the necessities and then they left to go make us all dinner while we got settled. Violet had a great time, her new home has garbage cans to play with and paint cans that are just her size for a nice place to sit. Stocky and Clara came back with dinner for us all then afterward they left and we crashed for the night, after being up for over 34 hours we were beyond done!
