One year ago we were up early and waiting to go to the civil center in Guanzhou. All of us were unsure what to expect. Cordie and Katie were pacing the hotel each kept saying how scared their baby brother might be this morning as his life was being rearranged. As for Brad and I we were worried about how he was going to adjust to his new family. Katie wanted to hug and kiss him and Cordie wanted to make him feel safe, what woderful big sisters he had waiting for him. Check out our pics from Gotcha Day and some more recent ones. God Bless you all, Bekah one blessed Mommy

How blessed you all are. Your family was so perfectly knit together by God. I have a hard time believing that it has been a year since he grafted into the fabric of your family. Love you guys!
Wow! It sure doesn't seem like it's been a year since we met you guys at the airport. I tried to show Dwayne pictures of Carlow from the dinner. I wanted him to see how much he had grown. Every picture I gotof him is of his back. He moves too fast for me. That is one thing that hasn't changed. He is still always on the move ; )
I hope you'll be meeting us at the airport soon ; ) Andrea
Some would gather money Along the path of life, Some would gather roses, And rest from worldly strife. But I would gather children From among the thorns of sin, I would seek their twinkling eyes, And reveal mischievous grins. For money cannot enter In that land of endless day, And roses that are gathered Soon will wilt along the way. But oh, the laughing children, As I cross the sunset sea, And the gates swing wide to heaven I can take them in with me!
LABOR I should know the drill, I’ve been here before.Twice I’ve felt these pains.So why this time am I so shocked,That I’m feeling these terrible pains.My time is getting near,The pains are closer, more intense. Still, it’s as if I’ve never been here, And I don’t know what to expect. Emotions running rampant, I feel like a pin ball machine. Loving, angry, sad, happy Ding ding ding …Stay out of my way, Oh, come here give me a hug. Where’s the tissue, the tears are flowing …Oh, here comes another pain!! I know that this shall pass, And I’ll be holding my beloved soon. But the waiting … oh the labor,Birthing my adoptive child! To: Rebekah Beatrice Landers Vincent From: Mother C.A.
