Our Homecoming~ {Prayer is Power Filled}

We began our journey home Wednesday afternoon in China on a van headed to Hong Kong~
And after an almost 4 hour ride of whipping in and out, curving, and breaking with a long wait through customs...
Scott was SO sick when we reached the Marriott near airport.
I mentioned it on IG that went to FB 
and the prayers starting pouring in...
Prayer is Power Filled because no sooner had we gotten to the room 
and he was sick than he began to feel better then sleep.
Thursday morning we were up @ 5 headed to airport for 4 hour flight to Tokyo, 2 hour layover, then 13 hour flight to Atlanta.
We went from 4 to 12 people with NO complications at all.
Flights were pretty smooth and the girls slept more than they were awake. 
Praise the Lord!!!
The best journey home we have ever had. 
We were SO thankful!

Flight got in just a little late and our immigration wait was long but all worth it when we rounded the corner 
and was met by family and friends waiting to welcome us home!
I have to thank Kelleyn for shooting all these beautiful photos!!!
Memories we will always cherish~


We can't thank Lifeline enough for the support through the long wait, during our travel, and when we return~
Our family is finally reunited and we couldn't be MORE thankful!!!
HollyMei is a dream come true and more precious than she even appears.
Thank You Jesus for our family... we couldn't be more blessed!!!

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!!! 


Birthdays, Stitches, and a Wedding~
