Waiting for us to arrive in the airport was our Jon Campbell with his 2 grandmothers, Grandma and Baba along with sweet Donna and Peggy from church. Cameras ready, eyes full of tears along with bright red, white and blue balloons bobbing in the air anticipating our descent down the steps when we introduced our Jin to his forever family. Jon Campbell couldn't wait as he he met us half way up the stairs crying out, "Papa, Mama!" He excitedly greeted his new brother with a hug and a huge smile and then handed him a stuffed teddy bear. Jin in exchange gave Jon Campbell a new panda dressed in traditional Chinese clothes.
Adele and her boys
After we arived home our neighbors, the Fitchels, came over to welcome us home. WOW! Jin had so much to explore and take in as did we. Right off he dug into the toy basket downstairs and found some new treasures. Buzz Lightyear was a hit.
Jin sees his bed for the 1st time
Everyone was excited and a little tired, but that did not stop us form enjoying a snack together. It had been 12 hours since we had a full meal.
Around midnight we all had reached our limit and bedtime was in sight or so I thought :) Teeth brushed; pjs on; prayers said and in the bed. It was a wonderful feeling to be home with both our boys as we tucked them in and passed out hugs and kisses and kisses and some more kisses. Lights went out as Clint and I left the room. "We love you both and no talking," were our last words. We hurried off to bed too because the only thing holding up our eyes were toothpicks. We were very earger to enjoy our own bed and matress and don't you know it.... We heard "Hee, heee, haaaaaa, giggle, giggle, heeee!" There was a lull of quiet and then, " Haaaa, giggle, giggle, he, he, haaaaa!" After 3 trips to their room of tough, sleepy, love and correction they both fell to sleep. Clint was very confident they would fall asleep eventually. He was right. After 30 minutes they were out for the night. Of course as I tucked myself in I couldn't help but to chuckle myself. We have been waiting so very long to hear laughter in stero. Thank you Lord for a double blessing.
