Posted 18 January 2008 - 12:00 AM

We got home less than two hours ago. Isaiah is in his bed, Janae is sleeping on the couch and Bryan and I are in tears. I'll tell you why. I told Bryan that before we went to bed that I felt I really should tell all of you that we are home. So many of you have cheered us on during this journey and prayed us through tough times that you deserved to know we are all home safe and sound. Bryan agreed. So I get to the Scrap Girls website and the first thing that pops up are my messages. I only got to read one tonight. It was from Patty Anne letting me know that there was a virtual baby shower. I clicked on the link and Bryan and I just cried. I CANNOT believe what so many of you did!!! I didn't even get to really look yet, but we were both so overwhelmed. I'm still shaking from the surpise. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts! I PROMISE to look at EACH and EVERY layout. Actually, I'm thinking I'll be printing each and every layout. What a beautiful treasure. Now I'm wishing I would've posted a few more photos of my family. ;)

Janae did fairly well on her trip home - just a couple of power struggles - mostly over seat belts. ;) Within an hour she was playing with Isaiah and saying his name, so he's pretty thrilled about that. There is already a bit of jealously on both their parts, but that's to be expected. They both slept all three hours of the drive from the airport. YAY!!

I'll post all the gorey details of the trip when naptime arrives tomorrow (unless I'm sleeping, too). I need to write as much of it down as I can remember since we didn't have internet access (we ended up at a different hotel) while in Haiti. Ah, but that is part of the story that will have to wait. I think it's time to acquit Janae with her crib (might not be fun for a bit).

I so love my Scrap Girls friends! I wish I could come and hug every one of you right now. Really. :)

Dear friend I am so glad that you are all safe and sound at home now. You have been on my mind so much in the last couple of days. Praise God that you are home and love to you and Bryan. I pray that you will have a very peaceful nights rest.

God Bless
Karen

PS Can't write any more than what I have written as there are too many tears of joy streaming down my face for you all right now. Love you all.

I am so looking forward to hearing all about your trip! I'm so glad you are all home safe! I just came in from reading all of the "Shower" gifts. I was going to leave comments but there are so many and they were making me cry too hard to see through my tears!

Much love and many hugs coming your way!

Carol Ann,
I'm afraid I have been pretty out of it for awhile, but I have been thinking of you often. I was so happy to see your post and that you are all home safe and sound. Praying you'll have the patience and guidance you'll need during the adjustment time. Congratualtions.

Best news I've heard in ages. I'm beyond thrilled for your family! I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy (and weepy) knowing a little girl made it home safe and sound with her mommy and daddy today. What a blessing!!

Welcome home Carol Ann!
And congratulations on finally having Janae at home with you!

I haven't been following your ordeal properly these last couple of months, because I've been pretty much absent from ScrapGirls (and digiscrappin).
But I was so happy to read that the visa was finally arranged and that you all had left to go get her home!

I hope all four of you adjust to the new situation quickly and that you get some rest!

I just got up and what a wonderful way to start the day - well crying isn't exactly the way I expected to start it - but tears of joy are always welcome - I am so happy for you and your dh, those two beautiful children are so lucky to have you, the power of prayer is totally awesome!

So glad you are home - I've really missed seeing you on the MBs. :clapping_kitty:

Oh Carol Ann! Add my tears to the rest! I am so so so very happy for you and your whole family. Praise the Lord indeed!

You concentrate on taking care of them and yourself right now, tho. You're going to have a rough transition for a while. We'll be here waiting for you when you get a minute or two to jump in and say hi.

Big hugs right back at you, girlfriend!
