Too Good not to Post

Okay, I had to post more pictures from our homecoming at the airport. These were too good not to share. The Parker Family snapped some priceless pictures for us...thank you guys for this precious gift. It is hard to believe this was only 10 days ago. I still get teary-eyed seeing us walk through those doors with Andrew and Kathlena. Thank you sweet friends for sharing this with us at the airport and/or through the blog.

Proud Dedushka's holding the sign.

Look at all those signs...thank you for your hard work in
making all of those sweet signs. We have kept every one
of them for Andrew and Kathlena.

The sweetest kids who waited a long time for us to come
through those doors. Thank you for making this even
more special with your signs and smiles!

Okay, all I can say is priceless...Ben what a great job you
did on your sign.

Mommy and Andrew...it took Andrew a little while to warm
up, but once he did he was giving hugs to grandparents and
ready to play with his new friends.
