After many long months, the family of two has become three! Evelyn is finally in our arms! The morning began with breakfast and a quick shuttle ride to the airport. Upon arriving, we met Miss Betty, a volunteer who has greeted families and babies for 19 years. While she went to meet the escorts at the gate and walk Evelyn through customs, we waited anxiously in the common area of the airport. As Rob and I were talking, I turned around and suddenly spotted Miss Betty carrying Evelyn. I began to cry tears of joy as I exclaimed"There she is!" I can't begin to describe the emotions that came over me as Miss Betty put her in my arms. All I remember is how wonderful it felt and how easy going Evelyn was. She was smiling the entire time and even laughed at her daddy. After a few minutes went by, Miss Betty introduced us to the two escorts who brought Evelyn to the U.S. Then it was time to head back to the hotel and she took a brief nap and bottle. We walked to a local restaurant for lunch and headed for the pool for about 30 minutes. She is currently sleeping in the portable bassinette we brought from home. Hopefully tomorrow will go as smoothly as today. She is such a beautiful blessing!

Big congratulations! Such a beautiful family--especially with Evelyn completing it!
Congratulations! She's beautiful! We can't wait to meet her on Friday.
Congratulations from the sticks! We are so happy for you, now the fun begins! Miley is beyond excited. She loves the pictures of the "real" baby Evelyn, not her doll that she has given that name. Don't start spoiling that girl too fast! We love ya.
