Prepare Our Hearts: Almost Home

Almost Home

We made it to Chicago! We are almost home. We will fly into Birmingham at 5:29 on United 4249. So far, everything is showing that the flight is on time. The girls did great on the long flight! Minus a few little meltdowns, they were perfect. We had several families on our flight with newly adopted children and they all did great. Hope to see any of you who can join us at the airport in just a little while.

Congratulations on your new addition! We've really enjoyed following your blog, having just returned from GZ ourselves! Strange how we miss it! God Bless you and your family!
