Parenthood has been very, very good to us...so far. We are really enjoying this new life style. Although I had to go to Gulfport for a few days, I was really excited to see Kayli when I got home, just like I am everyday after work. She gets all giggly and bouncy when I come through the door. We play hard and sleep hard. She is sleeping through the night and so are we. It has been really nice having Michelle's parents here to help take care of her for a few weeks.
This Monday Kayli turns 1. It is hard to believe that she has only been with us for a month. It seems like a couple of days ago that we were in China. We are absolutely excited to have her home. I am hoping that before too long that we will be able to start the process for Kayli's siblings. China was a fascinating country and every time I look back over the pictures all I can think of is that day that Kayli was put in our arms. What a sweet moment! I really appreciate those of you who prayed for us during this nearly three year process. We are grateful and could sense the prayers during every moment of our time in China.
There was one interesting thing that I noticed while we were in the conference room receiving the children -- every child was specifically chosen and matched every family perfectly, definitely a God thing. The children either looked or acted like their new parents. In our family, Kayli accepted us and it was just like she was our biological child -- she has my sense of humor, which is scary but fun to watch.
For those of you who check in with us daily, weekly, or centenially, I have posted new pictures on the website of Kayli's new home and of the welcome home shower that she had last week. I hope to have a new podcast showing her new surroundings and of her laughing and playing soon. I also hope to have pictures of her family birthday party up soon after it happens.
