What a joy to have our family all together again! Today we have been rushing around cleaning and unpacking.
Picking up with our adoption adventure, Gary drove home last Friday to be with the girls since we had no idea when we would be allowed to bring Blake home. On Monday I talked with our social worker in CO and she said she thought the paper work would be processed Tuesday or Wednesday and then we could go home. Based on that information Gary drove back to Utah with the girls on Tuesday. We stayed the night with our friends and then left for the border of Utah and Colorado. Our plan was to stay in a hotel if the paperwork did not go through. We drove for a several hours and it was mid afternoon when we realized we had to make a decision about whether to book a hotel. I called our social worker in Utah one last time and they got the word (while I was on the phone with them) that we could go home. God has been so gracious to us in this process. We are rejoicing to finally have our son and be home. Again, thank you for all your prayers, we feel very blessed!

Hallelujah! I know how badly you wanted to be home and start settling in. We were so glad to get to know you and have you in our home. You are welcome anytime!
A sweet end to a long journey. Rejoicing that you are altogether at home. Blessings. Looking forward to meeting Blake in January.
Oh Jamie! What a sweet little boy God has given you. It has been a while since I have had time to visit your blog. Seems like with 2 now I don`t even come close to getting anything done.
It was so special to read about the story of his birth both into this world and into your family. How special.
May God bless you and your family greatly this Christmas season as you adjust to having a new little one!
