Kylie is home people!!

Last night Nonie and I got to go with some friends to the airport to welcome home Kylie!!! Nonie and Wylie (the whole family) have been praying for "Kylie in China" for a while now and if you have frequented this blog then you know we are all very close with the Taylor Family. I have truly missed my friend and am so glad they are all home safe!

This is Nonie with the poster her and Wylie made for Kylie. She was very excited for her to arrive!!

When they first got off the plane!

Kylie with her mama!

She is soooo sweet! She smiled the whole night!!

Can't wait for our Friday Nights to start up again!

Sidenote: my cousin totally got off the same plane. He walked up and said "I wondered who that crying woman was...oh wait, it's my cousin." Hilarious. Glad to see him though!

Zoo

Let's just say the trip to the zoo is much different now ;-) We have some big kids on our hands and they have their own agendas! But, overall we had a very successful trip with a picnic lunch included!

We mailed our Dossier!!!!

We were able to mail our dossier to our agency on Wednesday!!! It was a huge sense of accomplishment to have it done and mailed. Our dossier is an accumulation of paperwork that explains who we are and that we want to adopt. Once we have our fingerprints done on Tuesday, it is time to wait!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Kylie!!!!!

I got to meet this sweet girl (via Skype) bright and early this morning!!!! She is finally in her mama's arms!

The wonderful Taylor Family! Now they just have to get home to Steve and Katie!

That's right, now our shirt has made it to China!!! Fancy, you are loved all over this plantet!!!

Can't wait for them to all get home! The girls are so excited to meet their new friend! They have been praying for "Kylie in China" all week!!

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Shirts Shirts Shirts!!!!

I bet you thought shirt pics were slowing down...not so my friends! We have just been crazy busy and sadly blogging hasn't been a priority. But, the girls are asleep, everything that needed to be cleaned out has been cleaned out and I have a minute....

This is one of my teacher friends Mrs. Penrod!!

Fancey's Aunt Lonnye, Uncle Brian, and cousins Aubrey and Brycen. Silly pic and then a posed one! Fancy, you are going to LOVE them!!

This is Aaron. His mom and I are good friends, but more importantly, he and Nonie are great friends! Love that he was rockin' soccer practice in his shirt!!

This is my good friend Bryce. We have been friends since middle school and now she is working at our church and has helped us a ton with different things we have needed along our adoption journey! Love her!

This is Ms. Thompson. She works with my Challengers.

More teacher friends: Mrs. Short and Ms. Long!!!

This is my good friend from college, Amanda! Her brother and sister-in-law are adopting from the same country we are!! I totally stole this pic off of Facebook, but love the fact I caught her wearing it!!

Keep those shirt pics coming!!!

My Wyliebear

Just because everyone needs some Wylie in their life!!! This girl is so sweet, funny, and her own person!!

Her teacher sent me this pic...apparently she took care of this baby all day at school. She loves her babies. She will pat them on the back, rock them, and even say "shhhhh" to try to get them to sleep. Such a gret mama already!

This was several weeks ago at my friend Sandra's house with the famous Jenna Grace. She loves her and she thought she was so big for sitting on the bean bag!!!

Another pic from school! As you can see by the cots behind her, she was the last one to nap. She takes her eating very seriously!

Can you guess her favorite food???

Wyile Grace, I love you and am so proud to be your mama! I praise God daily because you are in my life!!!

A few more shirt pics!

I finally made it to Bowling Green and had an amazing time!! But, I also got to hand out all of our shirts!

This is Karen Prather! She is my College BFF's Mama! She has always been so supportive...whether it be helping us move from apartment to apartment, sending leftovers, throwing baby showers, and now our adoption shirt! Love her!

This is my friend Rachel! I doubt she knows I have this pic, but it is from when our church went to fill boxes for Feed the Children in Nashville. This is her daughter Hannah! Loved that she was rockin' our shirt that day! They are adopting Zoe from Ethiopia!!!

Now introducing my BG girls!! Honestly, we are closer now than we were in college. We have been there for each other through 5 weddings, 6 houses, floods, working/not working/choosing not to work, and now 9 babies!!!! We are so old!! So thankful to have each of them in my life!! They for sure have some Fancy love going on!
