HOME!!!!!

Oh my goodness!  WE ARE HOME!!!!!  I didn't realize how much I missed home until I got here.  It feels so good to be home, but it felt even better to have my babies in my arms!!  Oh my goodness, what a sight for sore eyes, arms and heart they were.  I missed those beautiful babies!  Mama, Daddy, Our kids, Ames and Jen all met us at the airport.  It was so nice to see my family and friends. :)  On the way home Graci said "Mommy, I missed you so much I almost peed in my pants!!!!" LOL  Ethan sat up front with Brian, Graci beside Alli and I sat in the back with BaiLee.  He was all over me, and I think I heard "You just don't know how much I missed you!" about 30 times or so.  :)  We kept them home from school today so we could all spend some time together.
Alli was a CHAMP on the flights home.  Seriously, I couldn't have asked for a better baby! She was amazing, even during our 7 hour layover in Chicago. 
The kids were so happy to finally meet thier sister.  They have been ALL over her.  It's going to take some getting used to for Alli, but she will.  She's already really taking to Ethan and BaiLee.  Graci, well....I think the two mama's thing may be confussing for her! LOL  Really, the kids are doing great with her. We all stayed up last night until almost 3 am.  I am beat today!!!  That king size bed didn't feel much like a king wit 6 people and a dog in it last night.  Alli and I ended up in Ethan's bed early this morning.  Jet lag is killing me and Brian!  We are exhausted today!!!  I really can't wait for night time so I can go to bed.
Alli took a good 3 hour nap today.  Graci asked me about 6 times if she could wake her up, she wanted to play.
I'm so happy to be home and have my family all together. 
For those of you who are wondering, Alli became a citizen of the United States of America the time she steped onto American Soil, which was in Chicago. :)
Thanks for all the many prayers.  We truly felt them every step of the way.  God is so good!!!
With lots of Love,
Amanda & Brian

 Beautiufl girl in her Traditional Chinese dress.  All ready for the "Red Couch" photo.

 These are the babies in our final group.  They had to divide all of us that started out Beijing.

 These are the families that went to the same province as us.  Dan, Julie & Dani-Lyn, Tony, Lisa, Elizabeth & Samantha.  We loved getting to know these families.

 My new friend, Jen and Ethan. 

 Beautiful sleeping beauty. This is how she puts herself to sleep sucking her fingers...it's SO sweet.

 Part of the whole group.

 The waterfall inside the hotel.  It was very pretty, and there were huge goldfish swimming all around.

 This is supposed to be a video of her laughing,. I hope it pulls up.
