Welcoming Whitney

 Two weeks ago Tim and Dawn left for China to bring home their second daughter...

a sister for Charlotte !!

 

We loved that we got to travel together for our first adoption trips.

This time we kept in touch with them daily by way of the We Chat app.

We could text and send pictures and even video chat.

 

Whitney Day...

 

The new sisters...

Mei Mei {Whitney} and Jie Jie {Charlotte}

 

Whitney enjoying yummy deliciousness at our very favorite Italian restaurant in China...

 

which reminded me of Charlotte at the very same restaurant 3.5 years ago...

While we all waited back home we tried to keep Big Brother, Daniel entertained on the weekends.

We went to an indoor trampoline park...



And we went bowling...

Here we are We Chat video conferencing...

Finally, yesterday was the day the would arrive home. 

Daniel and I decorated their house a bit, inside and out...

 

And then we all headed to the airport to surprise them for their late night arrival.

Maura has spent the past few days helping me decorate the signs,

she even drew personalized drawings on the back of each poster :)

Here they are clearing customs at 10:20pm

This mama was certainly happy to see her baby boy waiting for her. 

It was a loooong two weeks!

 

Sisters...{love}

 Whitney was shy at first, and quite overwhelmed I am sure,

but she warmed up quickly,

especially to Maura,

walking hand in hand with her through the airport,

and then tried to pull in her into their car!

And Maura's heart melted...
