In our hotel lobby at the Skycity Marriott in Hong Kong - well rested and ready for the long trip home. |
Leiney Grace, with her beautiful smile, handled all of the new faces extremely well. |
Here is proof that David did survive 2 weeks with 7 children and NO WIFE! : ) |
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Lilly, Ethan, Brinley, and Bailey along with some fabulous teachers helped make this wonderful welcome home sign for us! |
Our 1st photo as a family of 10! |
How miraculous that we could return home on the same flight with our dear friends, Sharon and Marty and their supersize family! |
Heading home! |
She Liked It!!! (Just noticed that I still had my fanny pack on - oh my, I must have been tired!) |
Fulton adores Leiney Grace and offers to carry her up and down the stairs. |
Katie did a great job at having her room, now her and Leiney Grace's room, clean and decorated with lots of cute and colorful signs to welcome her new sister and roommate! |
Talking to Shelby before bedtime. |
1st night going to sleep in her new bed, in her new home, with her new family! |
I loved watching this from my kitchen window. They all had the best time coloring and doing puzzles outside. |
My crew did a great job welcoming us home - signs and a fairly clean and straightened up house! |

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me? I once was lost but now am found. Was blind but now I see."

How wonderful! One less orphan and one more around your table. Blessings!
AWH!! She's so precious! She'll fit right in with the high-energy, happy, kind, sweet and loving Bryants that I know. How's sharing a room goin for ya, Katie...? Since you and I had a hard time sharing, I was just wondering...I mean with the pillow fights and all...hahaha you know I'm only kidding (sort of)!!!!
Shelby...haven't had a chance to email you or call...life is SO busy with Debate tournaments and archery tournaments and algebra and AH you see (and know) all too well what I mean! I just wanted to let you know that everything is going really, almost surreally, well. Thank you so much for your sweet prayers and words. They meant (and still mean) a lot to me. I'll call you as soon as I have a free moment and we'll talk. Mom and dad are reforming a lot of things in our world right now; our music, literature, movies, how we spend our time, who we're allowed to be with, the words we're allowed to say. They've helped a lot. Your prayers were answered, sweet sister of mine. Love you <3
The only bad thing about Leiney Grace being home is...NO MORE GOAT SOAP!!! Waaahahahahha! :(
Just kidding! God bless you all!!!
