We're finally home!!!

After a long day of flying and a 50 minute delay in Chicago we are finally back home in SC. Abby Grace did great on the flights, she slept most of the time and I didn't even have to give her any Benedryl. She finally met her big brothers last night and was a little shy, but this morning they all played together nicely in her room. She has already been outside with V to pick some flowers, aka weeds. What a blessing it is to see her finally home with her forever family.

* To my gabby girls you have made this journey so amazing. It was wonderful to finally meet you all and see you all united with your children. Sorry for the no-goodbye in Chicago. I was being a bit rushed to our gate only to sit after the delay. But don't worry I know we'll all meet again soon, we've got to plan a reunion sometime next year.

Thank you Lord for this wonderful gift of adoption. You have given us something indescribable in this little girl. May she grow and bring honor and glory to your name.

Jenn,,Glad you all got home safely. We can't wait to meet Abby. I know how hard it is when you first get home. Everyone is usually exhausted and it takes a while to get back on home time. When you are finally up to company, let us know and we will plan a get together.

Back at you sweetie. The feeling is totally mutual. Know that you guys are definitely in our prayers. I've sent out prayer requests to family, friends and church. We'll be waiting to hear how the surgery went tomorrow. May God bless you and feel you with His awesome, perfect peace and comfort.
Love you,
Lisa and Kevin
