Mia Rene is home
Dear Friends,
I honestly have missed this board greatly this weekend but I have definitely seen your prayers answered as my mom relayed your messages to us on our way home. I look forward to rejoining the conversations here and and being part of the wonderful support we received in bringing our precious Mia home. We had an amazing adventure home. We boarded the plane from Atlanta to Greensboro at the last minute after calling everybody to say we wouldn't be home until the next day. They even put us in business class as the only seats left were there! We arrived late Friday night and stayed at Kristina's parents house. Saturday was spent with family. Mia loves her cousins so much. There was no "warm up" time at all needed for them. She loved on her aunt's and uncles. Kristina's parents "Maw Maw and Paw Paw" sat and watched their new granddaughter with the sweetest pride on their faces. Saturday evening, we took Mia home. She loves her room so much. She sat playing with her toys and telling us about each one in her own little "Mia language". Sunday was AWESOME as we worshipped the Lord together at church for the first time in a very long time. Our church family was so very supportive in our journey and welcomed the girls back with such tenderness. Sunday afternoon saw more family and a welcome back party at the church. Mia is very comfortable in her hous now. She is exploring everything and chattering a mile a minute. I returned to work teaching today. As I left, both Mia and Kristina were out cold exhausted. I can't help but yearn to go home real soon and see my girls. I just wanted to thank you all very much. Pictures are coming later this afternoon....

Cody,
Congratulationsl --- I know the past few days must have been filled with such joy (and exhaustion)! Thank you for always being such an encouragement to those of us going through the process even when your journey was taking a long time. I look forward to seeing all of the Mia updates of her new adventures at home with her family. Blessings to you all,

Cody,
I saw you were on the board this morning, so I've been patiently waiting for this post! I know we all breathed a huge sigh of relief when we read the post that you were ALL in the air together. God is so gracious, isnt' He? Please post pictures and keep us updated as "the Mia" grows and changes. We love hearing from you! PS-Just wanted you and Kristina to know that my almost 9 year old has prayed for you all every night since we joined this board. We posted the picture of Kristina and Mia on our fridge with others we pray for. Your picture and story really touched her heart. Her prayer was always, "Please be with the lady on the fridge who is up in Guatemala, and make them let Mia come home." Yesterday she made a "prayer ball" in Sunday School. Last night she showed it to me and not surprisingly, you guys are on it. It says just this, "Thank-you that Mia could come home." Amen.
