From 5 To 9...They Are Home Safely!!

Last night was another night FILLED with miracles at the airport!! We watched the Mihnovich Family go from a family of 5 to a family of 9 IN AN INSTANT!!! Yes, this amazing family adopted a sibling group of 4 from Ethiopia and arrived home safely last night!! Praise God!!

After many delays and MANY hours in travel...they were on American soil and VERY READY to get home...Well...above, 3 of them were awake...and.....below..
the baby of this sibling group couldn't quite HANG with the rest of the gang...He decided that sleeping through all the excitement was the way to go!! :)And, yes, above...it is really sad when the Momma of 7 that just traveled 40 hours to get home LOOKED BETTER than this momma!! LOL Oh, well..I've never seen Tracy look bad!! Tracy and her family are the ones responsible for our deciding to adopt. You can scroll down to the bottom of this page and see their first Gotcha Day with Baby Levi!! It was that video that changed our lives forever....We didn't even know this family, but were so excited to find out that they were local...Now, 2 years later...they have completed their second adoption and we're so proud to call them FRIENDS!!!

Well, they obviously have MANY friends...the airport was packed...even at 10'oclock at night....And, it was packed with Ethiopian beauties everywhere!!!

above, Elle is the big sister to this sibling group now of 7!! And, Levi is the baby still!!!

Jr. Poppy Dip herself was in FULL BEAUTY ACTION at the airport last night...I always say that this child should be on the cover of "Adopt Ethiopia" and there wouldn't be another waiting child in Ethiopia !! :)

I LOVE this above pic...it is Missy who just got home a few weeks ago with her son from Ethiopia and she took the "147 Million Orphan Feed 1" shirt and changed the "1" into a "4" for this event...AND, you have the FOUNDERS of http://www.147millionorphans.com/ shirts posing on each side of her....GREAT IDEA Missy!!! Wish I'd thought of it!!! :)

above, AND here is Missy's son, Micah Shewit!! He stopped to pose for me....It was just weeks ago that HE was the new kid at the airport...AND, now he is an old pro at AIRPORT HOMECOMINGS!!

And, we have some of the Mommas posing in their 147 Million gear!! We all looked at Gwen and Suzanne (founders of it) and said, "What did we wear before you started your business?" LOL

Vannessa and Amy were out supporting too...Both of these Mommas are on the waitlist for Ethiopian boys..I can't wait till their homecomings!! :)

This precious Ethiopian baby boy was just too cute!!! I think he and his Momma actually look a lot alike!!

2 more beauties welcoming their new friends home.....

I love these two friends....I said they needed to be on a Shampoo commercial...What GREAT hair!!

Another sweet family, above, just getting started in the process!!

Momma Poppy Dip and her twin girls!!

And, above we have two of the Mommas that rode in my hubby's van to the airport last night...that was one of the MOST fun parts..the ride out there!! We had 6 in my van and we laughed and gabbed the entire way there and back!! I love all the women God has put in my life..they inspire me each and every day!! And, I especially LOVE the Mihnovich Family for adopting 4 more!! What an inspiration!!! What might seem "crazy" or "hard" to the rest of the world...seems so NORMAL now to all of us!! Witnessing God bring this family together seems SO NATURAL and BEAUTIFUL!! I love the way God has changed US ALL so much during this journey of our lives!!! I'll never be the same after witnessing such miracles take place!! :)

Praising God for this amazing FAMILY!! Our Tennessee community just went up in population by 4 more!!! 4 more beautiful children being given the chance at LIFE!! God is just too good sometimes!! :) Welcome home sweet children ...We love you, welcome you, embrace you and pour sweet blessings over your life!! Happy Wednesday to you all, kj
