After a 16 hour flight, and 24 hours after leaving our hotel in Hong Kong...we are HOME! We were welcomed home by lots of family members with balloons, banners and even a cake. Everyone was so anxious to meet Audra, and we were so anxious to hug our kiddos at home! We were only gone 2.5 weeks but it seems as though they grew like weeds while we were gone. I can't believe how big and grown up them seem.
Our family was blessed by the generosity of so many people while we were gone:
~extended family pitched in to keep our kids at home on schedule with school and sports
~friends offered our kids rides to and from activities and had them over for play dates
~neighbors baked for us
~so many people prayed for our safety as we traveled and an easy transition for Audra
It almost seems unbelievable that we have been to China and back...have Audra with us now...and our new forever starts today! Thank you for joining us on this journey. We have been so comforted by your thoughts, prayers and well wishes at every step along this amazing journey. We are looking forward to sharing Audra with all of you (once this crazy jet lag passes!).
Dan and I are thrilled to see the pictures of Audra at HOME with Grandma and Grandpas and brothers and sister. But not as thrilled as you must be. I hear that the jet lag from China is really a trial. I hope that Moms and Dads and Audra and Charlotte recover quickly. I also hope that you continue the blog so we can see them grow accustomed to life with their forever families.
