She’s home!!! Finally!
This morning, the weather here was picture perfect when we got to the airport. The flight was on time, and Katie arrived all smiles! “Mama!” she exclaimed, and gave me a big hug. She hugged Leah and shook everyone else’s hand.
Mr. G. went and claimed the luggage, and as soon as she got her suitcase, Katie opened it and took out four gifts for them--all possessions that she had from the orphanage. Justin and David got her yo-yo’s, Anna got a hair band that was given to her by Yaru (Claire)--another child recently adopted, and Leah got her hair clips that we sent to China. How sweet is that!
Now we are home, and everyone is watching Chinese DVD’s that Katie brought with her. She seems very happy, and she loves being with the other kids!
Thanks to all of you who have us through this journey! Katie Chao Yan is awesome!
