watch this!

So a few weeks ago when we found out about the *wording* misunderstandings in Uganda, I asked you to pray for the families that were currently in Uganda waiting for visas...including one family working to get their precious daughter home that needed medical attention. Well, SHE is HOME!! Amazing!! Watch below...

As I sat here watching the homecoming video...I started to cry. Because I am happy for their family. Oh soooo happy! But also because I can't imagine the relief that mama felt getting off the plane and falling into her husband's arms. The joy she felt re-uniting with her entire family...all in one place. finally. I can't wait for the day we get to walk off the plane with our sweet, Ugandan babe. as one family. I know I will be a wreck. I used to make fun of my mum becuase she would cry often at so many things...but now I am that mama! I can't imagine what I will be like after 6 weeks in Africa...Andy jokes that I better stay hydrated because I will be losing so much liquid through my tears. {so sweet, right?! ha.}

Seriously though, we can't wait for all of you to meet out precious one. You have blessed us abundantly with support, love, encouragement, prayers, notes, calls. Thank you. Thank you for loving us the way that you do! It means the world to us!!
