Christmas

Christmas was a wonderful and crazy day. We started the morning with opening stockings. We then got ready and went to church @ 8 :(   Church was a great way to to start the day and to remember what Christmas is all about. After church we let the kids open the rest of their presents. The kids loved all of their presents but the favorite is still Kieron.

All ready for church, we even made it on time.

We're Home!!!

After a week in Kansas, Kieron and I were finally able to come home on Saturday. There weren't any direct flights home so we traveled 3 different planes, big and very small. Kieron did amazing, he slept the whole time on the planes. We flew into Boise where Sam met us. This was the first time Sam had seen him. We then went to Sam's sisters home where the kids awaited. They were very excited to meet their new brother.  After the meeting of Kieron and dinner we drove home. Now we're home and life is BUSY, mostly because of Christmas. Here are a few pictures of Kieron's welcoming. 

Kieron's umbilical cord came off as soon as we got home, yea. So he got his first bath and he did not like it, as you can see.

It's a Boy!!!!

Wow, life has been a little crazy this month. Dec 1st we were matched with a birth mother and father. Dec 7th a little baby boy was born, 6lb 8oz. Dec 10th we flew out to Wichita Kansas to get him. That night we met his amazing parents. It was great to talk to them in person and to really get to know them. Dec 12th we were finally able to meet the baby or I should say I was able to meet him. Sam had to fly out before he was released from protective services, long story. We named him

 Kieron Christopher-Clarke

That night his birth parents got to see him one more time before they flew out this morning. And now all the papers are signed and Kieron and I wait. We have to be approved by each state to travel, usually 5 business days. Hoping to be home by Saturday.

My first time seeing him Dec 12th
