We're Back!!!

Want to know what we have been up to in the last 2 weeks?? Well, here you go. Click HERE. I took the password off of all of the posts. It has been a VERY long and hard 2 weeks, but we are recovering and making all kinds of progress. Happy Thanksgiving. I have an insane amount of things to be thankful for. I posted everyday of our adventure, so if you are interested, you can really get the full story. I look forward to posting everything on this blog again.

Congratulations and Welcome Home! I'm a longtime Lucy follower and I'll admit I've been patiently waiting and was SO excited to see your post...I just spent the last 2 hrs catching up to speed on your journey. Annie is beautiful and Lucy is making a pretty amazing transition into being a big sister! Keeping your family (of 4!) in my prayers for smooth transitions and steady progress.

Oh wow! I've been reading your blog for a long time now, and I was SO excited to read about Annie. I serioualy cried throughout the whole thing. Congratulations and a half. Seriously wonderful news :)

Holy cow! Never did I imagine you were traveling to pick up another gorgeous daughter. I figured you were either pregnant or planning to adopt another baby. I'm so happy for you all! Congratulations!

Welcome home!

Congratulations! I used to read your blog and pop in every once in a while but I haven't been able to spend much time on the computer lately. Your pictures are always beautiful.
Your girls are precious and gorgeous! What a blessing!
My daughter turned 9 mos. old while in VN, and she, too, had a horrible adjustment. (My friend Geneva posted a comment about her on one of your entries.) Reading your journal brings back so many memories of our challenging time. My little one just turned 2 and she is an amazing child. We still have some issues but I wouldn't trade her for the world. The difficulties we had in the beginning just make me appreciate our time together even more. In fact, I never thought I would say this but I wish I could adopt a few more little ones.
If you ever want to be in touch (I know you're busy though), my email is camsokly@gmail.com.
Blessings to your family! God is good!

Wow Many Congratulations! However I must tell you that there is another Vietnam Annie here in the US. We adopted our Annie in January 2007-you had just brought home Lucy when we got on our plane.
My poor Annie is not blessed with a Mom who is a great photographer or blogger, but I will find a way to send you some photos of her. Lucy reminds me so much of her, and we have loved following your blog.
May God Bless your family!

Congratulations on your sweet Annie!! I follow your blog, but dont always comment, but I couldn't let this opportunity go by. What a suprise!!! Your Lucy is just precious and looks like a wonderful big sister. We have a Lucy that we brought home from China exactly 4 months ago today!

I cant wait to follow your blog and watch little Annie blossom in your love!
