A Journey Home in Pictures

I can't quite put our journey into words just yet, but wanted to update you through pictures. Matthew has been home 1 month. He is amazing and funny and it feels like he has always been ours. He had surgery to correct his club feet yesterday, and we are looking forward to seeing him running around very soon! Thank you for all of the love, support, prayers, blood, sweat and tears along the way. Love you!

Meeting Matthew for our court trip. 

He was very unsure of us. 

While waiting to go and get Matthew we had some fun. Then it was finally time! 

Last picture as a family of four.

The goodbye gang sending us off

He's not quite sure what he thinks about us yet. Nana went with me to pick him up. 

Gorgeous baby boy

Matthew and his special mother at Hannah's Hope.

We passed court with this lovely couple from Holland. They brought along the proud aunty. They waited SIX years to bring home their daughter. Needless to say, it was emotional in the court room when the judge said, "They are yours. "

May 2, 2014 - Probably one of the most emotional moments of my life. 

Can't wait to share the professional photos that were taken.

Nana and Papa love you!

Our welcoming crew

Grammy loves you Matthew!
