Homecoming~

Was sweeter than words can convey but I am sure the photos will tell the story loud and clear. 
 Our trip home could not have been any smoother~ all flights on time, kids were perfect on first leg and slept about 8 hours on the second leg. Definitely the BEST trip home ever. We flew into the new International Wing of Hartsfield Jackson and it was fabulous... through immigration and baggage in less than 30 minutes.
The two newest US citizens~
Here are a couple of collages with the girls' phone cameras...

 We walked around the corner to see and hear a beautiful crowd cheering us home~


Just a few photos from our Homecoming



 Truly the sweetest thing was introducing ALL our kids to each other. They were all quite lovely to each other~



 I think you get the message with these two photos below~

 A happy family reunited!!!~ Our agency Lifeline was there to welcome us home~ (wish I had gotten a photo of ALL waiting for us!)
 Couldn't hold back the emotion any more... time to let it all go in the arms of all who love us so much~





 No way we can thank our agency Lifeline for the phenomenal job they did while we were in China... every fee prepaid, four envelopes packed with every single document we needed, and guides that became of sweetest friends... loving our children as our constant communication with them. Thank you Lifeline, Anna, Celine, Miko, and Rebecca~ we LOVE you!!!



 Here we are at the end of our travel journey... SO tired but WAY more happy than anything!
Thank you to every single one that helped with our children while we were away. God blessed big~
Immeasurably More.

PS We had a great day and I have pics but jet lag is calling us to bed so I will share our first day tomorrow... it has been awesome!!! 

It stands to say...
There is NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!

Goodbye from China~

We leave today @ 1:30 from Guangzhou to Seoul to Atlanta landing @ 6:40pm. I can't imagine what relief I will feel when we rise to the top of the escalator and here the cheers coming from our family! Wanted to leave you with a Goodbye from China. Tried to get a family photo... Evie was not in to it~
 Photos from our 16th floor hotel room~

 And the last photos of the two littles before they meet their sibling~






We look at these two and see miracles!
 
Thank You Jesus for every moment shared here in China.
Thank You for every prayer spoke over us.
Thank You for every message sent to us.
We give You ALL glory and praise for this journey!  
Be with us as we travel home and bring our family back together.
 Immeasurably More!

Shamian Island~

The paradise island of Guangzhou. Our first trip to Guangzhou in 2006 was spent on this island @ The White Swan which is now being renovated~
 We asked our two FAVORITE shop keepers when it would be done and they both said... WHO knows???~
Jennie~

  
and Michael... both here all the times we have come~
 Shots from around the island and our travel group~
 









We were all going to eat @ Lucy's but wouldn't you know they were closed for renovations and would be open tomorrow SO we opted for a snack @ Starbucks which made for the perfect photo op~












Our precious babies... we are still in AWE of God's blessing!!!

On the way home Miko took the dads to a local market to buy each of a wok!!! Can't wait to try it out!!! Scott took the camera and shot a few photos on the way~









 A wonderful day for sure!!!
HOME tomorrow!!! Yay!!!
