Best Friends

All the littles are quickly bonding and becoming best friends. I can't wait to see them all soon and watch how they play together. Will Perry loves having a brother, and the girls love having a baby in the family. Evie is so small, and they just love it. We all do.

Pure sweetness~

Home

My mom and dad came home last Thursday. Our whole big family all met at the airport and anxiously awaited their arrival. We had a sign and everything.

At the first glimpse,  I went crazy! We are started cheering and probably looked crazy. But, everyone around us seemed excited too as they saw our big family reunite and meet our two new family members.

Here they come~

Our first family picture together~

Evie and Payne are precious, and they are both doing so well. Everyone is getting over jet lag and getting back to "normal" life. Josh and I went to my parents last Saturday to spend time with everyone. It was so wonderful all being back together. Life is amazing and God is SO good! For more updates, travel over to my mom's blog!

China!

Right now, my parents are in China! They are adopting these sweet babies...

Please follow their journey by going to my mom's blog...www.everythingbeautifulshay.blogspot.com

You won't be disappointed!

China Update

I have been slacking on updating y'all with the newest news from China! My family is doing great and Will Perry is already adjusting so well to his new family. My mom says he is so sweet, happy, and so much fun. All the little are getting along and they love playing together. Right now they are in his province and will be traveling to Guangzhou, China in a few days. There, they will finalize the adoption and will head home after that! They fly in to Atlanta on November 19th! Everyone at home is dying to meet our newest addition. My mom has been posting once or twice a day, and I love waking up to new picture of sweet Will Perry. He has the sweetest smile, and I can just tell he's going to be so sweet! Mom said his favorite things are his hat, belt and shoes. He is precious in that little hat! I hope you're ready for picture overload...I can't get enough!

Happy Tuesday!

Will Perry Day!!!

Today is the day that changed our family's life forever!

Will Perry now is with his forever family!!!!

Thank you for your prayers as we are on this amazing journey! Keep checking back for more updates and lots of pictures!

They are off!

My dad, mom and 3 sisters headed to China today! I was able to ride to the airport with my uncle to drop them off, and I'm happy I did. We helped them get their luggage out and ready to take in, and then they were off!

The next time I post a picture of them, they will have this sweet baby in their arms! 

Please keep them in your prayers as they are in China the next couple weeks. We can't wait to have them back home, but we are excited about what God is doing in their lives while they're there!

Love y'all!

Prayer Requests

I have a few prayer requests...

-My brother and sister in law are currently in Germany visiting some friends, and while they are there they are helping with a ministry there. They have a big heart for missions, and also European people. Pray for them as they are there this week. Pray that God uses them to reach lost people, and to also change lives. I know God will use them in amazing ways this week!

-Pray for Josh's parents as they watch my nephews! They are doing great, but Daniel broke his collar bone last weekend (before they left for their trip). He is feeling better, but it is hard for him to stay still. What little boy loves to sit all day and never get to run and play? NONE! So pray that his collar bone heals very soon so he can go back to being a normal little boy. I am taking them to see Lion King this afternoon! I'm looking forward to spending time with them.

-My family is getting closer and closer to traveling to China! I can't believe we will soon have a sweet little boy in our family. We are family of 5 girls so a little boy is going to rock our world, I'm sure! We are all excited to get him home so he is with his forever family. As they get closer to their trip, pray that God prepares their hearts for the long 2 weeks ahead. The trip to China is amazing, but it is tiring for sure. Also pray that God continues to provide the money they need to travel. He has provided so much for us, and we have been blessed beyond belief! I pray that He continues to do this. They should be leaving in the middle of November, if the timing works similar to the last 2 times they traveled. You will be able to follow their journey to China and back through my mom's blog: www.everythingbeautifulshay.blogspot.com

Here is our most recent picture of sweet Will~

 Look how those sweet eyes disappear!

Thank you for your support and prayers, sweet friends! The blog world is amazing, and I love the friendships I have made through it! 

I hope y'all are having a great week!
