Welcome Home August 11th 2009

Trey with his big brother Tyler.

First 5 minutes in the door. Digging in to the toys.

Carrying on in his own, on the cell phone

Staying in his seatbelt. Whew! We will tackle the booster seat later.

The shuttle ride to the airport in San Francisco.

Waiting to check our luggage.

Exactly 2 yrs. and one week we arrive home with our 2nd beautiful child from Taichung, Taiwan. What a lucky family we are to have been given the chance to add to our already 3 beautiful children. Now we are a family of 7. Wow!!!!

Trey slept preety much the whole 6 hrs to Charlotte, then we had to wait and extra hr in Charlotte to head home on the next plane which he slept that last hr flight home also. He pretty much got the where your seat belt down by now.

We arrived home around 6:30 pm and were greeted by Dad, Tyler, Tatumn, Tessa and a few of Tylers good friends. Brenda, Ms. Iva, David and Pat and Sarah and Mary, caught up with us in the parking lot due to our late arrival at the airport. They had some starving kiddos....

We were happy to have everyone come out and greet our little guy. He jumped right up into Daddy's arms. Tessa was so giggly and so was Tatumn. It was so great to be home.

Our car ride home went well too. He stayed in his seatbelt and talked on Tessa's cell phone the whole way home. He was all smiles and was laughing so much..... We are just so proud of him. How well he had done in 4 days before arriving home. To ask a child to leave his foster family of 4 yrs, to ask him to trust you as his parents and to never shed a tear!!!!!

Only when the thought that your brother was leaving with out you....

Strong. Determined little boy to trust that we will love him and guide him through his new life in America.

I would have never thought this could have been so easy. It was a breeze.

We love you Trey JingLai. And we are so very proud of you. Being so strong.
