Let's take Sofie home

Today is the day. We've been waiting almost 2 weeks to be able to bring Sofie home and it's finally here. We've enjoyed our time tremendously while in Xian and Guangzhou. We were so thankful to have our good friends, the Cassadas, with us during the journey. We relied a lot on each other during our time in China. And we could not imagine doing this without them. We're thankful that God allowed us to adopt from the same orphanage at the same time. So, Sofie has been doing great since she's been with us. She's taken many big strides toward accepting us and being a Hall. It took her no time at all to fall in love with Sarah Jane. Sofie loves big sis. Sarah Jane has been such a wonderful help for me and June as she played with Sofie and kept her engaged. It was a great decision to have the two girls together in China. Claire is now "au pair Claire". She has been awesome with everything. We also want to thank Dee and Mike for taking care of our boys while we've been away. It's been a challenge for them to take on a 10 and 13 year old but they did a great job. Thanks to all who've prayed for us and supported us during this time. Next entry is when we have entry into the USA with our new citizen daughter. Take care and God Bless. -Bud
