A Little Update!!!

Isaiah is doing great!  He is adjusting wonderfully playing with all of his brothers and sisters.  He's very tired because we all are still on China time, but I know once he gets rested up he will do even better.  I thank God for all of the many blessings he has given us!  I thank God for bringing us home safe and together again as a family! 

Home Sweet Home!!!

We made it!!!  We flew into Charleston, WV at 9:30pm.  We were welcomed by my  parents, Josh's parents, our kidos, Tiff, Hailey, and our friends....Christy, April, and Brinlee.  I was so excited to see everyone that I just couldn't hold back the tears.  I thank God with all of my heart for maintaining our safety throughout our journey, and for preparing Isaiah's heart and mind and our heart and mind.  There was a big sign on our home made by all the kidos....Welcome Home Isaiah!!!  Isaiah hasn't skipped a beat since we got home. He is loving all of his brothers and sisters!  He has played and played and is still eating his favorite....sour cream and onion pringles.

Almost Home!

We made it safely to Hong Kong at around 8:30 pm. I thank God for a safe trip here. There are NO traffic laws here so driver was clocked at 120 mph at times, no Stop signs, and NO traffic lights. I am glad to be sitting here typing this lol. We fly out at 11:50 am and should arrive in Charleston at 9:15pm. Can't wait to see my babies!!! I thank God for our journey and I thank Him for this opportunity, and for giving us the desire and love to adopt orphans as He has commanded us to do.

Leaving Hong Kong

We all met in Florida's room and each of us had a humbling prayer. I thank God that He brought us all together on this adoption journey and we will all have a lifetime remembrance of this special day! We will be leaving on a van for a 3 hour drive to Hong Kong. I can feel God's presence and His peace with us as we are almost about to begin our "real" journey at home together again as a family.

Guanghou and Shamian Island....

We made it to Guanghou late last night and met our rep, Kathy.  Her personality is full of life as we all need this right now.  We went to clinic today and the babies got checked out by the doctor.  No more shots since they passed the new Hague law so now they will catch up on their vaccinations in the states.  Another family and us walked around the island today.  It is so laid back there, and I so enjoy talking to the store owners.  Their businesses are in jeopardy since the White Swan is under renovation, and will be for a year.  I went to visit Hebe, but she was at the Trade Fair.  I so hate that I missed her.  I wanted her to meet Isaiah.

Loves playing with the phone!

Welcome to toddlerhood and terrible 2's.

Isaiah is doing great!  He is just a little rotten.  Let's see what all he's done so far...at least not on the same day though.....pulled the plant over and dumped out the dirt, splashed Allie and me in the bathtub, pulled his spaghetti bowl off and broke it, and was caught dipping his stacking cup in the toilet.  I remember a little Connor who acted just like this.  We'll have a little work on that when we get home, but right now we just have to get through.
