Now a Family of Six!!!!

I am truly feeling every ones prayers tonight because all four of my children are doing amazingly well. The older three had a good nights sleep and feeling much better about going out and about in Jinan and Gavin has only had one melt down since we got him at 11:30 this morning. It was due to the fact that he was upset when the ladies who brought him slipped out the door. His crying only lasted about ten minutes and then he was done thanks to the loving arms of his new dad. He has taken to Gary and I the most, but is fine with the kids and there is no doubt in our minds that he was prepared for our coming. I was prepared for the worse case and instead he walked in the door and called us mama and baba (daddy in Chinese) then gave us each a hug. This was not even something I had even let myself think about as far as our first meeting was going to be for fear of being let down. This was a total answer to prayer though. He eats like there's no tomorrow and out ate me at dinner. The boy is solid and if he has always eaten like this it's no wonder. He eats anything we put in front of him so I'm not worried about a picky eater. As far as sleep we had not a single issue so far, although he has only been asleep for just over an hour. We will have to see how the rest of the night goes. So far Gavin has been very giggly and wants Gary and I to hold him a lot. That will be a work out for us if it keeps up. We ended up going and sign papers today. This was going to be done tomorrow and now Gary is headed to Weifang tomorrow by himself and our guide while I stay here in Jinan with all the kids, this was going to be done on Wednesday. We also have already gotten Gavin's passport so we just might be headed out of Jinan a few days early. We have not totally decided yet. Thank You again for all the sweet comments, they are such an encouragement for us half way around the world. Now to what you really came to see, the pictures. If only I would quit all the babbling, right?   Blessings, Marla
