Welcome Home!!!!




After more road blocks than anyone could have ever imagined, we had the honor of getting to finally meet Ronel last night at the airport...it was a beautiful night. First of all, it made me so grateful for the community of friends we have----the different puzzles pieces that were able to fit together to contribute to helping them get Ronel home. That was just beautiful. And then, to see this sweet family reunited---a brother and sister who were beyond excited to meet their new sibling (and a baby who is absolutely adorable!!!! can you imagine going through this with a dear little newborn??? My hormones would have literally made me a crazy woman!)...


Coming off the escalator----what a beautiful hug...


An amazing little boy----we love him already...

His new brother and sister, showing pictures...


I love this one---Debra's smile says it all---she was just beaming...


...and Carly and Colton were SOOOO cute asking Ronel if "he was ok?" using this little book of american/creole...love it :)

Little Mister was having quite a time being up so late :) until he found the elevators...then it ALL fell apart. I'm really starting to wonder about this obsession. I mean, seriously his little cheeks were SO red because no matter WHERE we took him, no matter how far from the elevators, he would SPRINT back to them to "press the buttons"----right, we were REALLY popular with all the people with suitcases in a hurry who were actually trying to USE the elevators...really popular...



What a BEAUTIFUL family...



We are SOOOOO thankful!!!!!
much love!!! :)
