Happy Birthday Katie!!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!!! We hope you had a great day!! We love you!!!!!

Hannah is HOME!!!!!

Not even 29 hours of traveling could make her unhappy. Although I am certain she was very overwhelmed, as I would have been as well as there were I think 16 relatives plus her new family of her mom, and 5 siblings waiting for her, she was a real trooper!!!
Here are a few pictures of the "arrival celebration". And let me tell you that the airport was not ready for us!!!!

September 12th what a day!

Tomorrow is set to be quite a day...

First, my little girl will be turning 7! OMGoodness, where did the time go? 7, she cant really be 7 can she? That means I am getting old, but I will gladly grow old as long as it means I am able to watch my children grow and blossom! I love you Karleigh!!!!

Secondly, my brother, mom and Hannah arrive home from China. I can not wait to finally meet Hannah. It seems like we have waited a lifetime to meet you so I can only imagine how Amie and her other children feel! As I write this they have begun their journey home, so I will continue to pray for a safe and uneventful rest of the trip home for them! And Hannah you will have quite the line of people who want and cant wait to meet you little lady!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well, and love to you all!

Welcome Hannah Lynn

As many of you know, my brother and mom are in China right now, to bring Hannah home to her forever home. God as definately put in overtime in making sure that the trip is perfect! Hannah is adapting exceptionally well to her new papa (jeff). She seems to have a great sense of humor and loves to make everyone laugh.

I can not wait to meet her and welcome her into our family.

Here are a few pictures of my new niece! (Yes, I am a very proud Aunt!!!)

1st day of school--she is growing up way too fast!

So Wednesday, we sent our sweet little girl to her first day of 2nd grade....I guess she isnt so little anymore, as she is forever reminding me that she is almost 7!!!!



My mom and brother left on Thursday for the trip to China to bring my niece Hannah to her forever home! We are so excited to finally meet her! How ironic is it that they left for their trip to bring her home on her 2nd birthday and they come home on Karleigh's 7th birthday!!! Very cool! So if anyone could spare a prayer that their journey to Hannah is safe and amazing, we would all appreciate it!!!



Here is a picture of Karleigh on her first day of 2nd grade!!!
