Last night was the most fabulous, glorius night....everything was FANTASTIC! We were able to get passes to go to the gate and meet Eli right when he got off the plane. Then, as a family we traveled to arrivals to "meet the gang"!!! He did great with the carseat, slept part of the drive home and then played until around 11pm...slept until 3:15 a.m., had a diaper change, drank a bottle of water AND a bottle of formula, went back to bed until 4 something, got up had a diaper change and some cuddle time and went right back to bed. He is still fast asleep :) Randy & I camped out in the nursery and I barely slept :( I AM TOO EXCITED ABOUT OUR LITTLE BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful family! I am so excited for each of you and can't wait to meet Eli.
We're so glad everything went according to plan!!! The time change thing will probably take about a week to figure out (at least!) Take care of each other!!!
Dreams do come true! This is such a blessing seeing Eli in the arms of his Mommy and Daddy:) Can't wait to meet the newest member of our family. We love all of you and thank God always for answered prayers. Eli is such a cutie:)

He is beautiful! I'm sure you are in awe-it's amazing how you can instantly fall in love with a baby and experience those parental feelings, which are like no other.
Enjoy getting to know Eli and shaping your new lives together. Kaitlyn and Bryan will be so excited to see these pictures. This morning we were looking at your site and they enjoyed touring his room!
Makes me cry! Ruth enjoyed seeing the pictures this morning!! We are so happy for you! We will come by and see you all when things settle down for you. He is just soo freakin' adorable!!! We love you!! *gently kisses Eli's feet and cheeks*
He is such a beautiful baby. The three of you are so lucky to have each other.

Randy and Mara and Eli! What a beautiful family! Even though I haven't seen you in such a long time, you've been in my prayers and on my heart. I kept watching the clock all day yesterday- putting myself in your shoes! At 7 p.m. last night, I was exhausted! I couldn't wait to see and hear and read all about your incredible story. Love, Samantha
He's beautiful, and you all look so happy!! I'm so happy he's finally home with you!! How awesome that you got to go to the gate!! :-) What a treat!
I came over here from Shasta's blog - and I just have to say that is a gorgeous child -
Your family picture is also so awesome.
Congratulations!
I have goose bumps.
I'm in Texas - I know it's not the cold - it's the kind of goosebumps you get when you know God is doing something awesome and you get to see it!
Thanks for the peek!
