What A Day Made By GOD!!!


Ok... so I am really tired and my pictures went on backwards but hey.......I am just going to go with it. What an amazing day it has been. Lennon has slept pretty well and she is really seeming to bond with us. She does love some food and loves her some Big Brother Jiles. She is just so precious. We could not be more in love. Last night was a night to remember. Lennon was so overwhelmed and cried a lot of the time but she settled down after everyone cleared out and it has been up hill since then. Enjoy these photos of our night and I will post more tomorrow.


Lennon getting a tiger from cousin Sammie. Korea national animal. :)


Here we are. She wasn't quite sure about us. At this point she was really upset. Poor thing, it broke our heart.

This her escort Mrs. K. She was a sweet lady. She said she did good but did cry on the plane. This lady did a wonderful thing by bringing our baby girl home. They were traveling for almost 20 hours. Wow....I know they were all exhausted.

Our first glance of Lennon. They are so sweet. This is the other little boy that was escorted home as well. Lennon is on the right.

Waiting on Lennon to come home!!!

The plane has landed. United 7047......This is were our stomach really started to turn. We couldn't wait much longer. She was going to be in our arms in just a few short minutes.

Playing around, talking, and waiting.

Jiles was so glad his cousins and friend Garrett came to share in this moment when he became a big brother.
Here we are. Minus Tammy and Steven Hightower and our good friends from Russelville that just brought their baby home just a few weeks ago.
Thank you to all that shared in this moment with us. We give all the glory to our God for bringing our baby home safe and sound. Our God is soooooo GOOD!!!! My friend Gill (Korean friend I posted about a few months ago) talked with our escorts. They were so excited to know we were Christians and that we had been praying for Lennon for soooo long. Isn't it neat that God allowed a Christian to bring our baby home. I just love that. He has answered all of our prayers. Thank you God. Well,that is all for now. Going to bed. I will up before you know it.
Love you all, Rhea Anne, Jeremy, Jiles, and Lennon

We are speechless...such an awesome moment. I can't wait for Jiles to tell us about it Sunday in class! It is so sweet to here him talk about his sister with such love, even before he met her! I bet he is getting in bunches of hugs & kisses. Praying for you all to have peaceful rest...when you can!

P.S. Nate told me this week he doesn't want to wait any longer. He's ready to start the process...ordered all the packets for agencies this week and we are sorting through them...thanks for the example you all have been!
