OUR FAMILY IS TOGETHER!!!!
We are home and it feels so good!!! Any anxiety of the much talked about dreaded flight home was unwarranted. The children did great. Again it was so nice to have Bereket and Daniel, our friends from the orphanage who spoke the Walayta language, to be able to interpret for us as we explained to them exactly what to expect.
The arrival at the Minneapolis airport was incredible.
To have our family waiting for us with signs, balloons and all the love possible to welcome us home was something I will never forget. We had practiced with the kids identifying each of the other older children and their names over and over on the trip so when they finally saw them in person I really think it all clicked for them.
Mike and I have prayed so much for an extra-ordinary type of bonding between all members of our family. The 6 of us have always been so close and it is something that we prayed would continue with our 2 new members. I heard and read of so many attachment difficulties so we were prepared for this too. While I know we are only at the beginning of this journey I have to say that we really could not of asked for a better beginning. We feel so blessed.

PRAISE GOD they are home. Praise God! I have been meditating on the scripture, Habakkuk 2;3 "Though in linger, wait for it. It will certainly come and not delay."

So thrilled and excited for you and your family! God bless you all and I can't wait to meet them!
