This picture was taken while we waited for the plane to arrive. It was delayed because of weather. It was raining something terrible. I can't explain the feelings that were running high at the airport. We were so blessed to have some wonderful friends and family who didn't let the fact that the plane didn't get in until 11:00 PM and the storm stop them from coming to help us welcome our little girl home.
Pat, Me and Aunt Jen
Papaw Jady, Johnathan (holding the welcome home sign Josy made all by herself) and Papaw Bob
Johnathan, Papaw Jady, Mamaw Sherrie, Papaw Bob and Mamaw Wanda
Mamaw Wanda, Nana, Aunt Tammie, Johnathan and Papaw Eddie
Heading to meet the plane......
Do you see it yet??????
Finally....Here they come!!!!
Our first few moments together!!!! Johnathan stood back and just watched! I couldn't stay back and we all know that Josy has NO patience!!! I didn't try to take her from Darrell. I wanted her to feel safe and secure. I didn't want to scare her! She didn't offer to come to me and she would run to Darrell if she felt someone was getting too close. It killed me but I knew it was the best decision. We learned so much from when we brought Josy home.

Playing peek a boo. She recognized playing this game with me!!! I had played with her via webcam while they were in China. I think she was confused because now I was real and not in a computer!!
She was scared to death of Johnathan. It broke his heart.... We think it was the hat! When I look at this picture it takes me back to the day we received Josy girl! I think about how Johnathan has grown up so much. He is no longer the little 12 year old boy.... he has grown into a fine young man. WOW where do the years go?????
Josy LOVES her sister!!!! After 30 plus hours of travel Melee is in a great mood! I know she has to be totally exhausted!!!! She still runs back to daddy when she feels someone is too close!!!
She loves her daddy!!! She wants to make sure he is always near. She does think her sister is funny though!!!
She has a little smile for her mamaw too!!!
Mamaw finally eased Melee down onto her lap. I don't think she even realized!!! I love this picture....it shows Mamaw sneaking her first smooch!!! Notice Melee's hands.... they are full of little snack puffs~~~food is the key with this girl!!
Today my baby girl, God has answered many prayers....HE has given us a MIRACLE!!!! You don't know it yet but YOU are our miracle sent straight from the hand of GOD!!!We consider it such a PRIVILEGE to be chosen by HIM to be your FOREVER family!!!! We love you so much already!!!!
