147 Million Minus 2 More...Joseph and Daisy are HOME!

Yes, there are TWO more children that HAVE A FAMILY TONIGHT!!! Praise God!! Do you remember when I gave my girl, Gwen, her Adoption Shower??????It was so surreal to remember the shower, the years of praying for Joseph and Daisy, the ups and downs of getting them home....then.....

WHAM.....in an instant..the pain is gone and right before your eyes STANDS A MIRACLE!! Two children brought out of the depths of loneliness to a family waiting with open arms...It is a beautiful sight to see:
Above, Dad with his new son Joseph.


Then...we have Mom with new daughter, Daisy (being loved on by big sister :)











I do believe this might have been the largest crowd I've ever seen at the airport....SO MANY adopting families came out to show Gwen love and support as they got off the plane!!!



loved this above sign........




















LL got to even see her buddy Silas for a little bit too!!! fun!!!

You can read ALL about Gwen's journey to Uganda by visiting her blog at www.oatsvallteam.blogspot.com!! Welcome home Joseph and Daisy!! We're so glad you are finally home SAFELY with your forever family!!! Praising God for His Faithfulness!!
Happy Wednesday to you all, kj

  2. Oh, I am so glad they are home! Thanks for the update... I have been going to Gwen's blog daily to find out when they were coming home. I'm a little out of the loop over here in SE Missouri!! Looks like they had a record-breaking welcome! Your pictures are awesome and, as always, Lucy Lane is adorable as ever!
    Blessings,
    Shari
