A Family of Three

Oh my gosh, they got here last night around 545pm and it took awhile for him to come to us but he did and we had a good meal. I hurt so bad for the foster family, but at same time I am so happy for me. Last night wasnt bad and Clay slept all night long except for wanting a bottle once around 11. He has been so happy today and I am still not under complete belief that he is actually forever ours. Maybe, once we are on the plane it will really hit home that it is real and not just me dreaming. I cant explain everything we are feeling right now. I am not going to even attempt that. Right now, just whoever reads this please stop a minute and pray for Sammy, Veronica, Levni and Karen and the rest of the family that is missing my son and a part of their family. They need the prayers!!!!!!!! Pray for Clay also as he misses them, also. I am posting one picture from last night and then a few from this morning before breakfast. I will post more as time goes by until we go home but limited until home due to how the internet access works. We get it free just on public computers and pictures are being uploaded from a flash drive. Enjoy the pictures and I will post more as our time here continues. We love the hotel and it is right next door to the embassy. Talk soon.

You have made me cry happy tears, you guys!!!!

I'm so glad you have this day before embassy day and it's going to be a great 3-day weekend for y'all (as you Southerners say)!

I love you guys and I'll be sure and show Bob and Ben the blog photos when they get in.
