(Tuesday pm Ohio time)
Seeing Ty with Jeff is just such a blessing! I have to pinch myself to make sure what I am seeing is real. I LOVE IT!
I was just getting ready to do an update with Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and Forbidden City pictures when I got a call from Jeff (on Skype... so far I love Skype). He has Ty in his arms!
Dad reports that Ty looked a little scared at first and cried a good bit on the bus going back to the hotel. He doesn't want to let go of Jeff which is certainly a good thing.
I could hear him whimpering a little when Jeff and I were talking (Jeff was holding him) and then suddenly Ty was asleep.
What a big day for our little guy (for Jeff and Grandpa also). The only world Ty has ever known just changed drastically. With a very patient dad like Jeff I know the boys will be ok.
*Ty's CWI (orphanage) is WONDERFUL. They sent a baby book with Ty complete with a picture he recently drew. *
We also received some pictures the other day from a volunteer... they were of Ty at 8months old. Truly a blessing to receive these precious pieces of his life.*
Looking at an important paper
I just love this......They are both sleepy
On the home front~ Lily and I went out to dinner tonight with a group of friends that we met through FCC (Families with Children from China). We have been friends with this small group for over 2.5 years.
Going out to dinner with this group was the best place for Lily and I to be tonight. It gave us a chance to talk about Gotcha Day coming up in just a few hours but we also celebrated the youngest member (at 11 months) Sophie coming home just a few weeks ago. Her mom and dad have been waiting for her for a LONG time. We have all been so excited for her to come home.
It was so much fun and kept me from sitting anxiously at home.
The only thing we didn't do was get a group picture. I have some of the kiddies and I will get those posted soon.
Thanks guys for a great dinner!

Even though Mike already sent a message I just had to add a word or two (as usual)! It's a great day for a lot of people around the world as we can see for our very own eyes that Ty is with his dad and his grandpa!!! Grandma Collier said "oh, that little boy doesn't know how good his life will be". Congratulations!
