Last ride without a seatbelt.

This way to the airport.

We had a long but mainly uneventful trip home. I can't believe what a good traveler our little one was. He was so intrigued by the planes and people, we didn't have to do much entertaining. He got the whole travel thing right away. He knew he wanted to buckle up and never seemed to be bothered by any of the take offs and landings. He loved that food or snacks were served everytime we flew, so that really helped alot.

He LOVES Hannah. I can't say that enough. Remember how attached to Duane he was in China? Kevin has snubbed Duane on more than one occasion to be with Hannah. The Lord is truly the knower of all our hearts. Hannah has her baby brother who adores him (and vice versa I might add) and Duane and I have time to concentrate on Claire. Did I mention that competition started immediately with that one?? Claire needs some undivided attention for the next few days. So Kevin and Hannah can hang, while we remind Claire that she is a huge part of this family. Sleeping is an ongoing process. We are going to feel our way around that for a few days.

I am so glad that the Lord decided that we were worthy of this sweet boy. He is such a fighter but yet his spirit remains gentle. Claire became upset over something minor, so we were all trying to gently comfort her....Kevin reached over and gently rubbed her back....it brought tears to my eyes. God has designed this family so gloriously and perfectly. I am ashamed I every doubted that he was in complete and perfect control.

Thanks to all who lifted us up during our travels. Your prayers were definitely heard and answered.
