The "99ers" are home! We went into the airport with Dave and Sandy and had quite a night! Nothing in the China adoption world happens easily or quickly so of course their flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours. A 9:30 landing turned into a midnight arrival. The four of us were kept busy watching the Celtics and having a few drinks until all the airport bars were closed down at 9:00. With 3 hours left of waiting we were on a mission and ended up taking a shuttle to the airport Hilton and they had a great lounge. We even made a new friend at the airport and we invited Sally along with us. Sally was at the airport picking up Sean, Laura and new baby Sophia! Well as the time came to leave for the terminal again I could bearly keep myself together, I was just so excited to see the new families. Then at 12:05 the first family came down the staircase and we met Sophia and then shortly after cam Nancy and Tom with Caroline and Dave and Marile with Lia. They all had the babies in their carriers and they looked like they had been with these girls forever. The girls are so precious and they just looked around and took everything in. It wasn't long before they were giving smiles and showing us all their new tricks. It was quite an emotional evening and one that I will never forget.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
How cool to be able to greet newly made families at the airport! I would have the tears flowing BIG time! The baby in the pic you posted is totally adorable and looks SO comfortable already with her new momma.
Hope you had a great Christmas. Your boys look so cute in their red sweaters. Imagine a Christmas photo with Lily sitting between them...what a great pic that will be! Can't wait for next year!
