We're Home!

Finally! After 3 airplanes, 15 security checks, checking in and reclaiming baggage 4 times in 30 hours, 5 hour delay in Chicago, We are home! Praise the Lord! I have never been so happy for an airplane to take off as I was when we left Chicago. I could not stop crying as we took off-we were 1hour and 30 minutes from home---from all of our wonderful friends and family who were anxiously awaiting our arrival. Nana had worked so hard to plan the perfect welcome home party. 70 people were scheduled to be there wearing special tshirts that Nana had printed. Fox 21 news was there to do a report on adoption. By midnight, they had to give up. Our flight did not land until 3:30 am. We were so excited to get off of that plane. Anna Grace and Andrew were so sweet walking down the escalator holding my hands. Imagine our surprise at the Welcome Home we received. Our dearest friends and families were still there, holding tons of signs and balloons. Jodi had made sweet tea(with big glasses of ice), brownies, and rice krispie treats. Kellie brought tons of balloons. We are so very blessed. My sweet friend, Bobbi, had driven all the way from Winston to meet Mr. Andrew. Debbe and Caleb were there also with sweet gifts for the kids. Kayla(our precious babysitter) stayed up all night to come, even though she had a full day at school on Saturday. It was unbelievable. We are so blessed and I was so happy for Andrew to meet these people who will love him so much in life. We are going to plan a party very soon so that everyone who had to miss meeting him, can come visit. We are so excited to share Andrew with everyone. He is so precious. He is adjusting well and picking up a couple of english words each day. He loves his home. It is so precious to watch him discover toys and other things. Thanks again for all of your prayers, thoughts, emails and comments. They carried us through this journey!
