Rejoicing!

NEWS FLASH!

JIM AND THE KIDS ARE COMING HOME ... arriving in Seattle on Monday night at 10:45 p.m. (Many thanks to Olivia, at the Delta office in Accra ... she has worked hard for us, and came through with seats for Jim and all 3 kids.)

I told Jim that we would be at the airport with ...

... cameras flashing

... whistles blowing

... children screaming

... mommy crying


It's been a looooong 6 weeks ...

It's been a looooong 9 month adoption process. (When we started the process, we were told it would take 4-5 months.) We found out about the kids on June 16th ... they will be arriving home on March 17th.

We "planned" to have the kids home for Christmas ... they will barely make it for Easter.

We filled their dressers with winter clothes ... now we must replace with spring clothes. (Wish we hadn't taken all of the tags off.)

We were excited to play in the snow with them ... now we are planning a trip to Oregon for Spring Break.

Thank you Lord ...

... for Jacob, Sarah, and Rachel

... for such an amazing husband, to travel this adventure with.

... for walking us through this journey.

... for keeping us focused on You, through all of the delays.

... for giving us such a strong support network of friends, to love on our kids here at home, while we were gone.

... for opening up enough seats on Monday's plane
