Free at Last!

It took awhile for the happy family to make it through customs. Here's the first shot we had of them.

Dad, Change my Diaper

Here's Paul and his son. Welcome home, guys!

Decorating the House

Before Paul and Carol returned from Guatemala, the VRBC youth group took the time to decorate their house with some welcome signs.

Carol did a great job of updating us as her trip progressed. This is the first pic she sent us.

A Tribute to My New Friend Daniel

This is a tribute to my new friend Daniel. Daniel is the adopted son of my friends Paul and Carol. I got to know Paul and Carol through teaching a Bible Study class at our church. I got to know them better as we shared in the loss of their son Alex in May of 2005. Sharing is probably a bad word. I can't imagine the journey they were on at the time. Last year, I had the blessing of praying with Paul and Carol as they considered another adoption.

Today Helen and I took the opportunity to go to the airport to greet Paul, Carol and Daniel as they returned from Guatemala. These are a few pics that commemorate the event.
