So Good to Be Home!!!

I'm sure you all know by now, but we are home!!!  We FINALLY arrived home on Friday, December 10th, nearly six weeks after our we left - and MUCH later than had been expected.

We were greeted at the airport by George and the kids, my parents, and my sister.  I didn't know they were all coming, so it was a great surprise to see everyone.  There were lots of happy tears and tears of relief shed! 

In the coming weeks, I will be blogging about our journey in more detail.  I typed a couple of entries while in the DRC, but didn't post them.  I will probably start by posting those.

In the meantime, thank you for praying!!  I mean it when I say that we could "feel" people praying for us.  It's the only thing that got us through!  When we returned, Caleb was hospitalized for the weekend.  He's been doing much better, with only some minor issues.  He LOVES his siblings!  We are so very thankful to have been able to spend Christmas with our WHOLE family together!

We hope to put together an official "gotcha day" video on you tube to inspire and educate others about adoption.  For Christmas this year, my sister-in-law, gave us a great gift.  She made this short video about our homecoming.  Keep in mind that Caleb was SICK on the flight home and when you read about our journey to the airport, you will understand why we look so bad on this video!  Anyhow, hope you enjoy it!  Thanks, Autum, for such a meaningful Christmas gift - we LOVE it!!  Silence my music at the bottom of the page before playing this video.
