Our first car ride with TWO kids in the car!!! Abby's first ride in a carseat!
Abby was ALL smiles at home!!
LOVES the baby stroller!
First Family Dinner via Pizza Hut!!
Abby Decided she didn't want to sleep in her bed alone so she got to spend her first night in Nolan's room in the bunk beds!! It was a beautiful sight to go in there and see BOTH kids, fast a asleep......AMAZING
Our beloved church family at the airport........
Ahhhhhh..................I am so so blessed. I am in heaven right now, I can hear Abigail's footsteps going up the stairs with her unbelievably excited brother. My husband looks so exhausted but it's so awesome to have him home again. I missed him more than I can explain.
Thank you everyone for the prayers that made this possible. I pray God seeks favor on your lives and in your homes and he has in ours.
In Christ's name I rejoice and it's only because of him my baby is forever home!
Blessings,
Heather

Jason, Heather, Abby and Nolan,
ReplyDeleteSo great to hear that you are home safe and to see how happy Abby is to be home. Miss having Abby running around here at Emmaus, but so glad that we got to meet you guys here in Uganda.
I have come to know that one of the biggest blessings that comes from following God's call on our lives as individuals is the people He brings across our path in the process.
Look forward to continuing to follow your journey :)
Love,
Jo
Oh my goodness....look what happens when I don't read your blog for a couple days. I am sooo happy to see that you are all together. Butterflies of joy are fluttering in my stomach for you all.

I am so overwhelmed with emotion right now. I feel so blessed to have walked part of the journey alongside you in Uganda, and I am in awe of our Father who loves our kids so much that He would have it all come together in such a way. I know that hard doesn't describe it, bleieve me I know, but every single breath and every single hour and every single day and every single dollar was worth it. I am overjoyed for you guys and can't wait to see you all again...hopefully in North America this time?

ReplyDeleteWe were in the car at 4pm talking about what was happening at the airport!
I knew she was going to love that stroller! How cool to see BOTH kids together in your photos.
Can't wait to see you all.
Soak up some family time!

Heather - My husband and I had the opportunity to meet your husband and daughter in Amsterdam. We had noticed them in the Entebbe airport as we were all waiting to board the plane (we are in the early stages of an African adoption, so we were naturally curious when we saw a white man toting around an African child). We ran into them at a coffee shop in the Amsterdam airport, so we introduced ourselves and your husband gave us a quick explanation of your story. It was truly a blessing to meet them, as your husband was so encouraging concerning our adoption plans.
ReplyDeleteAfter learning that Abby was on her way to America for the first time, I couldn’t stop thinking about you guys throughout our flight home (we were not on the final flight with Jason and Abby, we were headed to Atlanta). My husband and I talked about what you must be going through and said a few prayers about your reunion. Jason told us about your blog so I sat down this afternoon and read it from beginning to end. What an amazing story! I am encouraged by your faithfulness and so thankful that you were able to journal your story so that others could be encouraged as well. We are so happy that you now have your family all on one continent!
Happy Fathers Day!
