The kids knew something was up when they heard us talking about a little boy in China and they saw me crying. After we got the call we called family and some friends to pray for us as we made our decision. We also were consulting with a doctor that evening after the kids were in bed. We decided we weren't going to show them his picture or tell them about their brother until we had made our decision about accepting his referral that evening. So on Wednesday after our LOI was sent we introduced the kids to their little brother in China.
Eric was telling the kids that we had found out who their little brother was.
The kids' first glance at their baby brother.
Their reaction was priceless and was so fun to watch. They have been praying for their little brother for months. They have been talking about him and what it might be like for him to leave China and live with us. They have been with me on numerous trips to FedEx. They have been waiting for today, the day they would see the face of their little brother. Shane kept giggling. Alexa kept saying over and over "He is so cute!" Emma said, "I just want to stare at him all day!"
Shane went in for the kiss. The kids are so excited and so proud. They have been carrying his picture around and showing off their new little brother to anyone that will listen. We pray the time goes quickly! We are all anxious to have him home.

Congratulations Julie!!! I am so happy for you and your family. He is adorable. I will pray for quick travel.
Also....Is it you that is doing a quilt. I promised someone a quilt square a few months ago and lost track of who it was....
Sorry.
