James, the girls, and his parents have begun their long trip home. They're flying to Shanghai right now, then they have a layover, then the 13 hour flight back to Chicago. They're all very anxious to get home, and they should arrive around 4pm Thursday. I'm so excited to pick them up and meet Haiyan! My parents and Lesley & Jared are also coming to the airport with me.
It's been a long 2 weeks for both of us. For James, because he isn't used to taking care of the kids all day long, especially from a hotel. And for me, because I'm not used to it being so quiet around the house! I was able to get SO much done though, and I now feel ready for Haiyan and whenever baby Joshua decides to arrive. I'm SO grateful to my parents for coming last weekend and helping me get Joshua's room ready and to Lesley & Jared for all of their help while James was gone. And I am so thankful for my nice neighbors who have checked on me and shoveled snow, otherwise I never would have been able to leave my house last week! And for my friends who helped celebrate my birthday last week, and gave me a really fun baby/adoption shower!

James and Amy,
I've been following your blog and thinking about you all so much these past two weeks. (Jenny gave me your blog). Its been exciting to follow along as this seed God planted in your hearts so long ago finally takes shape after years of waiting to meet your daughter! God is rewarding your faithfulness!
I will continue to pray for your family in these upcoming weeks of transition. Wow, you have a lot going on! Keep us updated (isn't the internet great?!?!) and how we can pray for you guys. How awesome...in a few hours, you will all finally be together! Finally.
God bless you all, Sarah (Kessler) McCray
