Thank you!

2 countries, 4 airplanes, 3 hotel rooms, and 23 days away from home.  Even as I type it, it seems unbelievable!

We've tasted many new foods, but we've also consumed more McDonald's than should be allowed.

We've learned to navigate crowded subways, hail a cab from anywhere in the city, and cross the busy streets of China with 4 kids in tow as though we were strolling through the park.

We've bathed  in copious amount of Purex hand sanitizer, and Sophia and I have conquered the squatty potty!  (Yes, those two things are related.)

We've met new friends along the journey and reconnected with old ones.

And finally, we've added to our family a precious new daughter.

Many people  thought we were crazy (and they were right!), but in the end, I'm so thankful my kids got to experience their birth countries and be the first ones  to welcome Abigail into her forever family.  The trip wasn't always easy, but easy is so overrated.

Saturday, we make the long trek home to Texas. That's when the real work will begin.  We will cocoon for a bit as we wait out jet lag and adjust to life at home as a family of six. We covet your prayers for this next leg of the journey.

If you've followed us this far, we know it's because you love us.  We can't  say thank you enough for your support and encouragement, and we look forward to introducing you to Miss Abigail Li Williams.  ❤️
