Home Sweet Home!!

Our last photo at the White Swan Hotel



Sorry for the delay in posting! We arrived home late Friday evening, after a 2 1/2 hour delay on the last leg of the trip. Everyone was quite tired after over 26 hours of travel. However, we were able to visit with our brother and sister in Christ, Sharon and John Principe and their wonderful children Jack and Lily during our lay over in NJ. They were in our travel group for Joy's adoption and we grew very close. What a blessing to see them again and share the joy of adoption once again. They will be heading back to China this summer to bring home their 2 sons from Shanghai.
Joshua was a trooper on the airplane and we only had a few tears over wearing the seat belt. He is simply amazing! We were eagerly greeted by Aunt Lisa at the airport and laughed all the way home as we told her about our adventure. Andrew was up and waiting and the two boys hit it off instantly. It is as if they have always known one another. Joy woke long enough to smile and say hello and back to dreamland she went. Of course, jet lag has reared its ugly face, but I think we are over the hump.
We were able to make it to church on Sunday and introduce our newest addition. We can't thank our brothers and sisters in Christ, both here and scattered abroad for your prayers during this trip. We sit in awe once again of over the all encompassing LOVE OF OUR LORD!!

We are now just hanging out at home. However, we are missing Dad, who had to travel for business Monday-Friday. He was just jumping for joy to climb abroad another airplane! LOL
Our church members are bringing meals while he is away and I am getting spoiled. Please continue to pray for Joy, her back is slowly improving and she will be heading back to the doctor on Thursday. Joshua is fearful of the dogs so we would also appreciate prays over their interaction. Thank you again for following our journey! More pictures to come
