Home Sweet Home

Everyone's home now. This is our first family photo taken at the Louisville Airport. Jackie's still a little jet lagged but, all in all, the whole gang is doing well.

We are humbled by so many of you guys reading about our family expansion. Jackie and I prayerfully wish all your families would be growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus. Friends like you are the best!

We hope to be able to talk to all of you in person soon. Especially if the Lord has laid the thought of adopting a child on your heart.

Amazed by His Grace,

Bruce

Homecoming Take 2

Jackie and Kendyl Shea Shea SHOULD be on AA3487 due to arrive at 9:55 this morning on a French manufactured Airbus. Great design huh? Hopefully she will have an upperdeck window seat.

Jackie was SO disappointed that she would not be getting home last night.

Sorry about the late update.

Overnighting in Texas

Yep, they missed the flight. Now they should be in tomorrow at about 10a. I'll write later with more info.

The Ladies are on Their Way!

It's 4PM Wed. and Jackie/Kendyl has just arrived in LA. They have a very tight connection for ther Dallas flight, so I hope that they make it.
Now about the picture. Jackie couldn't fit all her China purchases in her luggage, so she hired some help to get a few extra items home. ( If you think his bike is small you should see the raft that he uses for the Pacific! )

If Jackie makes it on time she will arrive in Louisville at 10:40P tonight on AA1912.
Thanks for following our adventure.

Just waiting

One more of day of killing time. Today we shopped. Kendyl grabbed a power nap in the stroller and thought that was enough for her. So, I didn't get my nap. We went to Lucy's for dinner. This is a Western style restaurant. I had a good old greasy hamburger and french fries. Kendyl is eating more textured stuff. She actually ate some rice and a french fry. A river boat cruise was planned, but we opted to not go. It was raining and Kendyl was tired. Plus, I did it last time in China. I was going to shop some more, but Kendyl fell asleep in the stroller. So, I rushed her to bed. Since no nap, she went to bed at 630pm.

Tomorrow, we eat, shop and go to US Consulate at 3pm for our oath ceremony. Then we order pizza for dinner and pack. It is actually almost time to go home. It has been a wonderful 2 weeks, but the loooooongest ever.

I still haven't heard from Bruce. Hope he is making his way home some way.

I'm heading to watch HBO, work Suduko puzzles and read.

Good night.
Jackie

The giggles have come....

As you can tell by the picture, Kendyl has let her guard down some. Still cautious at times and especially to strangers, but I can definitely get her to laugh now. She is a good girl. I love this age because all they need is a water bottle cap to play with. It seems every little thing amazes her.

Bruce has had some trouble getting home. He was delayed in Hong Kong for a very long time. Not sure why. Please pray for him and our trip on Wednesday. I'm not sure if the computer problem in Los Angeles will effect us or not. PLEASE PRAY!!! 14 hours on a flight plus delays will put a lot of us and the babies over the edge.

Love to all.
Jackie
