After nearly 21 hours of being on the go, we made it home, sick, exhausted, but very, very happy. Crystal is doing well. She was very excited to see her room full of toys. It's hard to explain what we are feeling right now. We are very disoriented, jet lagged, and miss being in China very much - we were only just starting to get used to being there. Despite the challenges that come from the language barrier and working through an interpreter, we loved being there very much. China has become very much a part of our home. No longer will it be some country in a far away place on this planet - rather, it is now inside of us, in our hearts and in our souls. It is an unexplainable feeling, the growth that happens from actually being there and feeling our world view grow and expand so much. Nothing will ever be the same and we can no longer look at things in the same way as we may have before we went. Below are some pictures of our beautiful baby girl. A blessing to us from very far away....some place we hope to return some day.

Welcome home !! My gosh, she's beautiful and looks soooo happy (as do the two of you). We look forward to getting together once the madness dies down. Until then, rest, recover and enjoy.

Hi there:
First I would like to thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures of your family. I am so excited for the three of you that words can not express how I feel. Please know that it is great to see the three of you together. The love that you and Kevin have for each other is so endearing and now you each get to bestow that love on your beautiful baby girl. It is great to see all of you so happy and now your family is complete. It was well worth the wait:) I hope you are all getting the rest that you need and I hope you and Kevin are feeling better. Can't wait to see you and catch up. You are all very special to me and I thank God for you. Love, Mary
