home sweet home

Gia is a delight.  Thank you for all your prayers.  Our trip was rich in so many ways.  We met many wonderful people throughout our journey, and we look forward to reconnecting with them one day.   Gia was a loved baby at the care center.  Her nanny cried when she said good bye to her, and it was very sweet moment.  God truly had favor on her and took care of her well, an answer to our many prayers.

So we're home!  She loves to be held...most of the time!!  I am not getting a whole lot done at this point, but hopefully we'll all be on the same time zone soon!  She's quick to smile, even when she's crying.   We are blessed to have our daughter home, the boys have been so sweet to her and helpful, and...I've gotta go!  I hear someone!
