Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
Friday, July 3, 2009
Friday started the trip back home and the end of an incredible journey. We awoke at 5am
Hong Kong time which was 3pm July 2nd in
Oconomowoc and got on the plane at 8am for the flight to Tokyo, we landed on time and got a chance to see the Tokyo airport and grab something to eat. Last time we were here we raced from one plane to another late at night .We exchanged some cash for lunch and quickly spent 2900 yen on McDonalds at the airport. Then we boarded the last 747 that any one of us ever wants to see and took off at 305pm
Hong Kong time, WE flew for 11 hours to Detroit Michigan and landed at 145pm Detroit tme. We had the highlight of the trip when at 300pm on July 3, 2009 the paperwork was stamped by the TSA agent and Emma Rose Xiufan Niedfeldt became an American Citizen, tomorow will truly be a blesed Fourth of July for the Niedfeldts.We grabbed some lunch and boarded the best plane ever NW 243 to
Milwaukee and landed at 515pm, We were greated by Julies family at the airport then home to a WELCOME HOME EMMA sign across the driveway..Emma seemed to enjoy the room the girls and Julie prepared for her as well as the decorations from Julies family, We will spend the next couple of days decompressing and dealing with jet lag, finishing laundry , wrapping the 219 various souveniers we got for people and spending time with the kids getting to know Emma in her new house.
we will be having a baptism soon as well as an open house when our friends can come and meet in person our gift from God......... Made in China , living in
Oconomowoc

hey Julie and gang.. Hope you're recovering from the long journey. Thanks so much for the blog and sharing your wonderful venture with us.
I can't wait to come to WI so I can meet this very lucky little girl. I know she'll be so glad to have you as her loving family.
God Bless you!
