We are in the learning phase and praying and hoping to make a decision the first of the year. I love the photos! Sweet Carter. And I LOVE the owl thing! It's so vibrant and odd...it's a great story and something to treasure :-) Love your sense of humor!

Look at the men behind you in the picture at the airport. They know that they are witnessing something absolutely amazing. A miracle. A new life. They don't know the details but they've just seen you walk by with a very special boy and they must see a crowd up ahead cheering and waving. I love the expressions on their faces of complete joy!<br />SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534516258316279739.post-70604315423919323102011-11-16T19:20:59.785-06:002011-11-16T19:20:59.785-06:00so thrilled for you all...hugs from New Zealand.so thrilled for you all...hugs from New Zealand.kiwicpkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056470180963278557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534516258316279739.post-92004035412337298602011-11-16T19:09:24.830-06:002011-11-16T19:09:24.830-06:00Welcome home and welcome to your new life together...Welcome home and welcome to your new life together as a family! I'm surprised, I didn't expect to see an update for a little while, but I'm sure glad I did! I love the airport pics!<br /><br />Poor Carter with the meltdown... after all that travel, so many new places so fast, I don't blame the poor guy. So happy to hear that a good night's sleep refreshed him enough to bravely explore again!<br /><br />And I'm with Jake too... that thing is hideous, LOL. But YOU love it, and you have quite the fab hubby to surprise you with it. :-)VCoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02960802246659331924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534516258316279739.post-41517726628814359722011-11-16T17:16:33.591-06:002011-11-16T17:16:33.591-06:00I love the end table owl thing-a-ma-jig?

The tears were many from many, it's amazing that the same tears of sorrow can erupt into joy, love and relief. I'm sure all these emotions will be part of the now and here for many years. Always remember how amazing you are to have been called out by God for Carter. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said "HERE AM I. SEND ME!"
