Home Coming....  When Daddy meets Wen Xiang.... Ryan drove down to Chicago, after we missed our flight home to Madison.  And yes I admit, I lost it at immigration (after 24+ hours) of travel with a toddler, when the officer said you're going to miss your flight.  What?!?!?  They are boarding right now.  Please can't we hurry this process along...  sounds a lot like adoption right.... I had texted my faithful husband as the doom of missing our flight was approaching minute by minute.  As the United agent booked us on the flight three hours later, I realized we would not be greeted by our family and friends and have a homecoming at the airport with pictures as planned.  Again this is adoption, I should know by now to go with the flow..... Approaching the gate and saw the words flight delayed....all I could do is chuckle.    I laughed and then cried and called Ryan who had already packed the car to come and get us.   So instead of the grand arrival and excitement at the airport...

                                                      Hanging out in the hotel room This is a famous anchestry hall where they hold musical/theatrical performances.  They were preparing for the upcoming holiday with new flowers and landscaping.                                       I thought these two adjectives described the boys well!                                        He was overheating........ I was drawn to the beauty in this lamp post outside the theatre.  Reflecting back after the last blog post, I realized maybe the lamp post is a sign of Hope and light for Wen Xiang.  Despite that cold November day, when he was left under a lamp post, he now has a light, a family, and ultimately access the knowing the true light for his life, Christ.                                         Justin trying to catch a fish!                                            Building trust in those we are beginning to love! A face of a child who almost lost his chance at life with a family....days away
