They Made It!!!!

This is Kelly blogging for Jamie,and I just got off the phone with her. After traveling for 44 hours, they finally made it. I'm overjoyed by the news that they were able to MEET Ruk for the first time pretty soon after they arrived as well, and everything went GREAT!!! Jamie says he is VERY small... even smaller than Dax, and that he is probably a size 4... WOW! Jamie says that all his teeth are coming in and is not the toothless guy we have seen photos of. She also said that he was very sweet and affectionate with her, and that he called her mommy already. This is a great sign as it shows he is open and ready for a family!!! Jamie was told that all day long he was chatting away that he was going to meet his mommy today! Sniff, sniff!!! Hays and Ruk hit it off real well too and didn't have any of that awkward and shy first time to meet you syndrome. They played for over an hour, and Hays had a BALL with his rambunctious and playful brother, Ruk. Lots of hugging and kissing were involved when they parted, but they are excited that they get to spend the whole day tomorrow together. Other than Jamie and Hays being drained mentally and physically, they seem to be doing GREAT!!! Jamie plans on blogging tomorrow and uploading some of the many pictures that she took.... CAN'T wait to see!!!

God has been so good, but please continue to pray for them all like MAD that they would be kept safe, that bonding would take place, and that all the details of the adoption would seamlessly fall into order.

WE LOVE YOU JAMIE, HAYS, AND RUK!!!!!!!
