We are both exhausted but excited! I'll post pictures and an update when I can hold my eyes open fully. MANY thanks to everyone who prayed for our trip. Olivia did amazingly well.

YAY!!! I have been waiting for this post!!! Look at Daddy with his hand on her arm...I know he is bursting with joy. What does she think about all these boys??? What about Daddy's facial hair? Most of the little ones in our group didn't like it (one of the dads had a beard) but Annslee was so intrigued with it : )
Try and get back on schedule then catch us up!!
So glad you're home safely!! Let the next phase of your journey begin!
I don't know you, but I've followed your entire trip and have laughed and cried and prayed and rejoiced with you. Thank you so much for an intimate glimpse into this wonderful event in your life.
I will be traveling to Quangxi/Qinzhou in the fall and it was a wonderful 'practice' for me.
Thanks again for opening your life and your heart even to a stranger who has been blessed beyond what you can imagine by sharing your journey.
May God RICHLY bless you and may your transition at home be easy and smooth and wonderful
Congratulations! Doreen Clark
Glad you are home and going well. Everyone looks great and I am very happy for you. I remember how hard it was when we got back as well. Wish you sleep, peace and joy for the coming days.
So glad that you made it home safe and sound. The first few days home with Gracyn were tough- we got her out all day in the sunshine and she converted to EST quickly.
Can't wait to see more pictures of her at home with her family!!
Congrats!!!

I am sure you are breathing a big sigh of relief to be home after such a big trip. May God give you all an extra portion of grace and strength during this huge transition. I can't believe how big your boys have gotten! Wow
Lynn,
So glad to see you made it home with Olivia! She is just beautiful. I have been reading your blog everyday to see how you were getting along all alone in a foreign country. Wow, how the boys are growing. I would have never recognized Ben. Well, don't have a lot of time, I am writing from work. Take care.
Love,
Your Niece Traci
What an awesome family photo...everyone is beaming! Glad you are Olivia are home safely, and we can't wait to read more updates!
yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is home! and so are you! Beautiful family photo. I can see how happy everyone is to have the two of you near. Ben and Blake could not have bigger smiles. After all you have been through (not just the 21 hour flight!) your own joyous smile is a statement all in itself.

Welcome home!!!!

Welcome home, I'm sure it feels good!! So glad to hear you're safe and that Olivia did well! :)
I hope the next few weeks are filled with lots of smiles and lots of sleep.
Welcome home! Try to catch up on your sleep...that flight is the longest thing ever!
Of all the pictures, these are the most wonderful to see. Your family together...priceless! Lynn you did an amazing job of navigating all of the practical and emotional aspects of the trip! Love you girl...take a much deserved break and nap all you can! Linda S.
Thank God for your safe trip home! I know you "all" are worn out, with excitement and joy, and even fear. It will take time as you said, but what a blessed family to have. I love all of you, the pictures were wonderful. The "boys" and daddy looked so happy, and she will be spoiled so bad, which is as she should be. I will be watching the blog, just wishing I was there with all of you.What a great Birthday present for Blake. Love Grandma Donna. :-)
