What a Welcome

The third time through, you would expect that I might be a little calmer about the actual "coming home". Nope. We touch down at LAX, and I cry - and not just "tears well up in the eyes crying", but "shoulders shacking, makeup running, need a tissue or three" sobs. I will do a separate post on the actual plane ride, as it was fairly entertaining, but I want to record the arrival while it is still fresh.

Right before I left, we talked to Child Burn Foundation about the "story" and could it help them (and promote the plight of hte orphan?). They contacted some media, and when I left Guangzhou, we expected that Channel 5 would be there. 

Found out when I landed that they would be joined by Cannel 2, 7,9 and 11. That's a lot of cameras when you come out of customs. Doug had already done the pre-arrival interviews and prep work! 

It was a great reunion - those girls...those little girls were so happy! 

Every picture of me is awful because I pretty much could not stop crying. I cried for the) pictures - and I pretty much was weepy and chocked up through the interviews as well (we saw four interviews on tv tonight - all well done) 

But when we got home - the deal was sealed. Katie was mostly interested in momma, Rudolf and bed (and not necessarily in that order) - but Becky....well she got Cami indoctrinated into the world according to Becky. Becky kept telling Cami all the way home in the car "I love you Cami" - and kept checking on her to see if she was feeling car sick at all (she wasn't). They got home, and poor Cami got the "drag her through every room tour" by Becky - ending up in the garden room and the universal language of tea party.

I can not describe how peaceful this evening was when we got home. Becky and Cami have been sisters forever in Becky's heart, and she reached out and included Cami in that tonight. 

They are all sleeping well - and we could not feel more blessed or loved by our Father in Heaven tonight. To HIM be the glory this Christmas!
