Welcome Home

Lixia was welcomed home, in style, by Nana, Papa Swing, and Grandma Barb, complete with welcome posters, balloons, and gifts.  She was so excited to see everyone and gave out lots of hugs and kisses.  She was even treated to Chinese noodles at a nearby restaurant afterwards.  This sweet girl is already loved by so many.  Can't wait to see what God has in store for her life.

In addition to our warm welcome from family, the gate agent remembered us from two weeks ago and wanted to know if we made our connection in Dallas and how things were going with our new daughter.  She also pointed out another family who was departing from Champaign to fly to China to adopt their daughter.  We were blessed to chat with them for a few minutes and compare stories.  What a cool encounter to end our journey home!
