I waited until late this evening hoping to see something about your visit (12:30am). What a WONDERFUL picture! Our God is an Awesome God! Have a safe trip home & call if you need us at the airport. Much Love.

I am up with Joshua at 1:47 and thought I’d log on to see if there were any posts about your first meeting with Ethan. I love the photo! You make a wonderful family and Ethan is adorable and looks happy to finally meet his parents! Congratulations to you all!

Well MOM, How does it feel? It’s great isn’t it? Worth the wait? Soon you will be home and we are all so very glad for you. Enjoy the rest of your time there and have a safe flight home. See you soon.

Great Picture !! I blew it up and copied it and Steve took it to the Methodist Men’s meeting tonight. Everyone is so excited and happy for the three of you. In a few hours you will have Ethan and begin your new roles as Dad, Mom and Son. God Bless.
P.S. We miss you.

Thanks, all. We’ve enjoyed reading all of your comments on the blog this week!

I should add that ONE of the 1,000 words for this post could be “misleading.”

Yes, he looks happy in the photo. But it’s probably NOT because of US. Behind the camera, his foster mother is waving a toy.

He did warm up to us a bit by the time this photo was taken toward the end of our hour together. We’re glad he was comfortable enough for this photo to be taken, but he’s probably not quite ready to pack up and go home with us just yet!
