Homecoming pics!

What an awesome day! The day we arrived back in STL after almost 24 hours of travel from Ethiopia.Our family and best of friends were there to celebrate little Solie Koket's arrival to the US. We so love and appreciate these people in our lives and they made us feel so so loved! Check out some of the footage!



This is part of the welcome crew. What a great way to walk out of airport security!

Bianca meeting her little sis for the first time....What a priceless moment.








The Outman crew give Solie some love! They are waiting for their twin boys from Ethiopia, who had a crib right across from Solie's! Check out their blog.

Long long time best bud Trac welcomes little Solie!

These great signs made by the Outman crew

We have been home 3 weeks today! Feels like forever. SOlie has made such an amazing journey from a far off and wonderful place and she is just the sweetest baby. We are so humbled and thankful that God would give us this child to love.
I have lots of great new pics to share but did not want to miss out posting this good stuff!

I came upon your blog from babybangs blog and have been sucked in!! I've read pretty much the entire thing and just love reading about what God is doing in your lives. You have such a beautiful family. My sister adopted her son from the same orphanage a little over 2 years ago. He is 5 now. Their blog is antenehwest.blogspot.com in case you're interested! His bed was right under the window that looked into the baby room and he still remembers looking through there. :)
