He's Home!





Friday Paul and Dawson got home and it's been wild, hilarious, trying and yet so fun! We can't believe how adaptable Dawson has been! We walked in to the house after arriving from the airport and after clinging on for a few minutes, he was off chasing Elli and they broke out in dancing! He loves to laugh and play and though Paul is still his favorite, Grandma and I are OK and can soothe him. He is still having issues with jet lag...any suggestions out there? I think Elli can get the most laughs out of him and he would love to play with her all day long, but he is a tornado coming through, throwing and crashing things while Elli loves all of her teacups and dolls in order so.....I see a lot of potential issues:) Dawson is not one bit shy, so we are loving his love for life and bright eyes! Just don't invite us over for dinner because meal time is insane! But all of your prayers and support have been amazing. Seriously, this has gone shockingly better than we ever expected and Paul repeats how much he felt your prayers as their time in India went so well! Thank you Jesus, we are all in the same continent

He's just gorgeous! LOVE those eyes. It is so thrilling to see the pic of all of you together. The day can't come fast enough when we get to meet them and see you and Paul again. The Warrens love you guys so much and miss you terribly! Enjoy your little ones. They are just precious.

I LOVE the picture of all three kiddos together. How absolutely precious!!!! Your family is so beautiful. Life will be crazy, busy, and full for the next 18 years :). Lots of fun times ahead (hang in there on the not so fun, hectic moments...all of us with multiple kids can identify with that)! Take lots of pictures and hug and kiss those sweet munchkins for me :).

YES, all your babies are now under one roof! Dawson looks great and seems to have made himself at home quickly. Looks like you will have a summer filled with lots of giggles and energy!

Congratulations!

P.S. The jet lag will get better. I never really found anything that worked, you just have to ride it out.
