Well, we made it back to New Zealand.  This trip was not quite as smooth as our other trips so far, but I think overall it still went exceptionally well.  Our 13 hour flight left San Francisco at 7:45pm, and Riley had woken up from a 30 minute nap in the car at 5:45, so she was basically ready for bed within an hour of the flight taking off.  She was clearly tired, but was way too interested in her new surroundings to go to sleep.  I tried everything to get her to sleep and she just screamed, so I decided to let her stay awake so the other passengers wouldn't throw their in-flight meals at me.  In retrospect, not a good move.  After being up for 4 1/2 hours, she was SO overtired she just cried and cried until she finally fell asleep.  Total I think she only cried for 20 minutes, but it felt like forever!  Once she was asleep, she slept for 9 hours, and didn't cry again.  Then thankfully she napped as we went through customs, and woke up ready to play for the last leg of our journey.  She was being an angel on that 45 minute flight when all of a sudden... MAJOR diaper explosion.  Like, she was laying on my lap, on a pillow, and she soaked through her outfit, through the pillowcase, onto the pillow.  What. a. mess.  But all things considered, I'd say the trip home went pretty well.  I got zero hours of sleep, so I will be paying for it big time over the next few days!

We were definitely sad to leave CA, but it's nice to be home. And it's WARM summer weather here!  Yay!  But I know Riley misses these super fun faces...

I have to say, Riley loves her grandparents.  My mom discovered all kinds of silly dances and funny words that make Riley smile every single time.  One of those being "poopy."  She thinks that word is hilaaaaaarious.  Not sure what my mom was doing to get her to make this face...

And then we took a few of Riley by the tree before we left for the airport... She's a pretty good sitter these days.

So now we're doing a little damage control with an overtired babe, while trying to unpack all our stuff and get everything organized!

Glad you made it back safely. Sorry it didn't go as good as planned. She sure is cute though.
