Well, I think I'm caught up! Might be a little while before I get back on, but who knows!??? Here is the best pic of the family of 7 that we got Sunday and  pics of Zoey in her OWN bed!!! SO, until later..

Sweet church...beautiful shower!

There is another table on the side of this one!

matching outfits! YAY!!!

CUTE! CUTE!

I mean really! How beautiful!!

Had a balloon man there and he made her a ladybug!

DIAPERS!

My Sweet friend, Lana, helping with clean-up! I think she just wanted to be close while I was opening presents! HAHAHA Same thing I would do to her! HA

Roman and his snake and Olivia with her favorite animal, An elephant!

My mom made this! I love it!

What was on the door to the Big house at church

Zoey and Mrs. Sam!!!

Our church had a baby shower for us! We cannot express how special this was for us. We got diapers! YAY!!! And bunches of clothes. We are VERY grateful for their generosity not only with this but with the whole adoption! We are blessed with them all!

Some pics of new friends!

My friends came to visit us! It was a great time. The one in pink is Abigail, and she's about 4 month younger than Zoey and the one in gray is Ashlynn and she's about 3.5 mths youger! So she's going to have friends really close to her age!!! They did great together and had a blast in the backyard (which she LOVES!!) It's big (and fenced in) and she just runs all over the place!
She's adjusting so well! Sleep isn't going well, but we expected that! It will take a little while to adjust but we will make it! She's a rough little fart! But that's okay, she has 3 bros and a daddy that will "fight" with her! She is SOO stinking smart! I'm not kidding. They taught her so much at the healing home! She knows her nose, eyes, ears and mouth! She sings all kinds of songs. She hums ALOT and has a tremendous memory! She goes around to the pics in our house and points to everyone and then points to the ones that are here! She is obsessed with pictures! She wants to look at them all the time!!! She is understanding every word we are saying and has answered to Zoey since about day 2 with her! She LOVES to eat, but she's not gorging, so I'm happy about that! She doesn't like anything but her milk (I have her off of formula but still on bottle) and water. Well, she does like tea a little bit, too !:)

Zoey, Abigail, Ashlynn

Our beautiful girl!

Fun with the twins, Luke and Landon, in the dog house! :) Yes..it's that big! HA

Fun outside with bubba, Chase and sister, Olivia

Olivia and her sweet friend, Kyleigh!

Look at all those friends!!!

LOVES running in the back yard!

Today she has a small fever (100.3) and we are thinking it might be her ears??? But she's doing sooo good! People are amazed at her, as well as I, and we feel so blessed already! We knew she would fit perfectly and she does! Olivia is getting a little more used to her and the jealousy is getting a little better but we expected that too! She loves her and Zoey loves her, and it's a joy to see them sleeping in the same room, playing together and hugging! The boys love her too and she loves them. Gives them kisses and wants them to hold her! We love her so much and can't wait to see our life day to day now that we have her! Thank you God for our 5 blessings! They are all from YOU and we are well aware of that! Thank You for entrusting them with us and help us to raise them according to YOUR standards and YOUR ways!!! Thank You!!!

Yes we are still alive! :)

I am so sorry for not posting as soon as we got home, but it's been crazy!
The 13 hour plane ride was...well...interesting! She cried alot, well we had 4 times when it was about 15 min of crying but the rest of the time was just figiting and the 4 hours was sleeping. I do want to say that we only got 4 hours of sleep and that's WITH Benadryl AND melatonin!!!! But, we survived and was told by several ppl that the girls were good! Had two Chinese ladies come and try to take her from me on the plane..THAT made me pretty mad but I just smiled and said, "NO!" Then while Anthony was taking his turn, several Chinese ladies said she was cold to cover her up, even though there was sweat running off her head! But , we just ignored them and dealt with her the best we could!
We were blessed with about 25 people or so at the airport holding signs welcoming us home and after we stayed at the airport for like 45 min while Zoey went to EVERYONE, we drove the hour it takes to get home and went by the church and had some friends waiting there holding signs for us, too!! Then we got home and there were more signs and beautiful balloons! We were welcomed home by so many that love us and we felt so special!!!
Zoey did amazing! At first she didn't want to go to anyone, but when she finally did, she went to Chase! Then, to my mom and then it got easier for her and she let EVERYONE hold her! No joke! She amazed me!

The boys were so excited to have us and her home! It was a great reunion and I thank God for the safe plane rides and safety of us while we were in China, and my boys while they were here! Thank you for all the prayers!!!There were other ppl she went to but they are on another camera! :) The one of Zackery holding Olivia is precious to me! She missed her bubba's!!!
