We are HOME!!

God truly answered all of our prayers above and beyond. We had a safe and pleasant trip home and were not sick at all while in China. We are recovering well--just very tired. Xiaolei was a trooper on the three planes and van we took to get from China to our house. He played, slept and was entertained by the flight attendants. The only time he fussed was when we had to put his seatbelt back on because of turbulence. We got great seats in the bulkhead where there was room for him to stretch out and do puzzles in front of our seats because no one was in front of us. We had the entire middle row to ourselves--5 seats because the plane was not very full.

Xiaolei is having a blast at his new home. When I gave him the tour, he just grinned when he saw his room and the backyard. He is having fun playing with all of the toys--especially the cars and trains. He also enjoys driving the Little Tikes coupe in the backyard.

We are waiting for my mom and dad to bring Theo and Ruthie here. We can't wait to see them. We also can't wait for them to meet Xiaolei. They are very excited as well. It has been a long 19 days away from my sweet babies. :) They had a wonderful time at their grandparent's and their Aunt Phyllis' house, though. It was like being a summer camp for them.

That's all for now. Just so thankful to be home and also thankful that God blessed us with such a sweet little boy as an addition to our family. We are very very blessed and happy.

God is good!!
Thank you for covering us with your prayers during this entire journey. We can't wait for all of you to meet Xiaolei (Levi).
