Together in Texas


Maya liked the plane

Our good friend Kathy picked us up at the airport. Notice Maya is sleeping. She was real excited about being in Houston:)

Well, after 17 hours on planes and 7 hours in airports and a short overnight stay in LA, we made it home to Texas on Friday. Boy, is it good to be home! Jason and I could hardly contain ourselves when we saw Kora and Jackson. Man, did we miss them.
It was such a precious moment for us to finally have all three of our kids together.

Maya has become very comfortable in the house and with everyone around here. She loves following her brother and sister around and getting into everything that she shouldn't. She's quite the curious one. She may think her name is "no, Maya" instead of just Maya. :) We've had fun showing her new things and the kids think she is so funny. She does have quite a cute personality. We look so forward to all of you meeting her.
Speaking of all of you...I can not explain in words how blessed and extremely fortunate Jason and I feel for all the support and love ya'll have given us. Your prayers and calls and just interest in this journey have meant so much to us. Thank you. This experience would not have been as amazing as it was without all of you and your involvement. Praise God for the friends He has given us and the love He has shown us through this adoption.

Maya actually fell asleep during dinner the second night home

That face:)

I hope to keep posting updates on this blog of little Miss Maya and all her new experiences. So please check in every once and awhile.
**By the way, Maya is loving her Daddy now. Thanks for asking.

I am so happy for you guys! It's been great following this whole deal and I can only imagine what you must be feeling knowing that you're back home and she's now legally and geographically part of your family. :)

Congratulations! We cannot wait to meet her and see everyone again. We cannot tell you how happy we are for the entire family and we hope you have a wonderful Christmas together. Sorry that we cannot spend it together again this year.

Hey, Georges! I found your blog through another and was delightfully surprised by your adoption. Maya is gorgeous and I love that you can see how much Kora and Jackson truely adore her. Hopefully I'll run into you at church relatively soon and get to meet her. :)
