Welcome Oliver

































Oliver has arrived!! After 21 months, hundreds of pages of paperwork and 3 hospitalizations he is finally home. So far, so good...he hasn't cried, he has eaten dinner, taken a bath and fell asleep in 10 seconds (one positive to jet lag). We still have a 5 hour drive tomorrow so we will update more later.

We too are extremely happy for you! He is precious. It looks like you were all meant for each other. Oli and Jilli will have lots of fun playing while we run. Get home safely, bond like crazy, and then share the little bundle.

I cried seeing the pictures...I can only imagine what the last couple days have been like for you!! What a beautiful son you have!! I only wish he could have heard all the whoops of joy coming from Kearney when he arrived!! We can hardly wait for our first playdate...Ainsley, you'll have to let us know when you're ready to share Oliver; we bet you're an awesome big sister!!

Hugs to you all
