Greeting and meeting Mary Grace!















Last Wednesday Kamryn and I road tripped to Indiana so we could be at the airport to greet Mary Grace, Delilah, Brad and Mark. I was so excited to meet Kamryn's newest "sister" and the baby I helped wait for with Delilah. We drove straight through and went to the party store immediately to get balloons to decorate their house light post and to have some at the airport for our greeting.

Kamryn did great at the airport waiting. (notice her bracelet and necklace. She knew this was a special occasion. She usually doesn't leave jewelry on!) We weren't the only ones waiting for little China babes. There were some other families waiting for a Bethany group. We kept watching the screens to see what time the planes were due to land. All of a sudden we saw Brad walking down the escalator with Mary Grace and Delilah and Mark not too far behind them.





























It was so wonderful to see all of them, especially Mary Grace! She is such a cutie-pie and a little peanut. Kamryn was ecstatic to see Mary Grace and especially Delilah. She was all smiles and even tried to get in their family picture.













































Kamryn and I dropped by their house quickly after the airport to drop off milk and the chocolate chip cookies we baked for our friends. We didn't stay long because I knew they were tired. The cutest thing happened though as we were pulling out of their driveway. Kamryn said loud and clear, "I love Mary Grace."

What an exciting time!! This is like living it all over again. Our wait for Kamryn was so special. This was the same. We're all so happy for Mark, Brad and Delilah! We're all so happy to know that Mary Grace has a "forever" family.
I can't wait to go down to Carmel to see her in person. Julie and Kamryn were a perfect welcome committee!!!
Thanks for sharing the pictures and story.
Love ya, Mom
