and the Lord has given me what I asked of him. In EVERY. SINGLE. WAY.
Today may go down as the first day I've been rendered completely and utterly speechless. We certainly have felt a peace over this process, even amidst the craziness, and now we know exactly why. I am overcome with such a gamete of emotions I don't know where to begin. Until I can put together a coherent story, I think I'll let the photos of our Family Day speak for themselves. I know that's all you want to see anyway...
Introducing
Samuel "Jack" Xijian Womble
AKA our caboose...
(who came to us in a Thomas the Train tshirt I might add...
God certainly knows how to speak to my heart--He cares about each and every detail just like me)
At the moment this little angel of ours is sleeping soundly in his crib next to me. If I could have dreamed a perfect Family Day this would have been it. It was more than I could ask or imagine. I know things may change but we have started off on our new adventure in the most amazing way. Tonight I'm going to bed thanking God for the five greatest blessings of my life.
Our main prayer request at this time is for Little Buddy to feel better. He came to us sick with fever but I think it's just a cold. If THIS is what he feels like when he feels crummy I can't wait to see the healthy Little Buddy. Thank you Lord for this indescribable gift. Details of our day to come...

Well I see a smile!!! I am so glad this day has finally arrived and I can see the joy in all of you. Can't wait til you get home with him! Welcome to the family Little Buddy! Love MOM aka Grammy
I am sitting here at the computer just smiling as if I was there. He is precious just like your other three. I love his smile. I know that Jonathan will be a big help during this time. Tell both boys that their Nanny loves them and can't wait for them to be home along with their momma and daddy. Love you all.

Oh how I prayed that he would love ALL of you! What a great answer. Praying for you as you continue to bond with this most precious of gifts. God sure is good!
