Hello Everyone-
First few days in China. sightseeing and anxiously awaiting our "Gotcha Day".
Our first "tubby". Gracie loves bath time!

After "tubby time" Gracie and Dad watch a few cartoons. The little kid and the big kid!

We had a busy day getting paperwork signed and getting one step closer to making her legally ours. I love rocking her and having her fall asleep in my arms. What and angel!!!!

Getting ready for our first sight seeing day! She had a great time and is such a  character!

Her daddy decided to introduce her to McDonald's..Her first fast food!  She LOVES french fries!!!!
We are so glad to share with you the newest pics of our precious baby girl, Gracie Lou Weeks. We are home and loving every minute of being with her and bonding with her. She is a love, an absolute joy and we are so crazy about her.......It is funny, many have asked if the love I have for her is the same as it is with my boys. While I have an incredible crazy love for my boys, I have the same love and and then some for her. Its a love in knowing that I have been so amazingly blessed by the Lord because of our obedience in doing what He called us to do five years ago. It is hard to explain how deep my love for this precious little girl is. We thought that we were simply being obedient to God's plan years ago and our obedience has produced a even greater blessing for us. So many thought we were crazy because our boys were almost grown and we were hitting our 40's. There were times we thought we had lost our minds as well. However, we were certain that God had told us to do this so we had to be obedient. Now we see that He wanted to blessed us in a way that we would have never fathom. WOW! what a journey it has been and we can't wait to see how God uses this precious life to glorify Him. We will have the video completed soon so you can see our adoption journey and the "gotcha day". That is the day we actually met Gracie for the first time. From the minute we met, she has taken to us and loved us as much as we love her. It was like she was always with us. She loves music like Drew, she is smart like Dustin, she's a "ham" like her mommy, and a deep thinker like her daddy.....If you haven't met her yet, I can't wait for you to.. You will fall in love with her as we have and your life will be changed because you will see the love of the Lord all over her little face. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us as we have walked through this journey. We love you and appreciate your prayers and your friendship.
Enjoy the pics. Video coming soon!

Love ya!
