Gotcha Day - July 26th, 2010

God is faithful. 

What a beautiful child the Lord has entrusted us to raise. It has been an absolutely wonderful day but emotional exhausting. I will let the pics do the "talking" tonight because Kirby and mom are already fast asleep and I better hurry and catch up - no telling what time we will all be up in the morning. We will have much more time to fill in the details in the next several days because our pace will slow dramatically as we enjoy what the Chinese refer to as our "harmonises period" and have only one or two appointments per day with much down time. 

I can't close tonight with thanking our Lord for all He has done in our lives and the tremendous blessing He has seen fit to entrust to Katherine and me - now 5 of the most precious children ever!!!

Praising the Lord from China. We love you and are the beneficiaries of your many prayers, Thank you, 

David & Kat (zzzzzzzzzz)

The boys and I got to talk to Mom, Dad, and Kirby on skype this morning, which was SO exciting! She is so beautiful and happy! She would smile every time Dad would look at her and eventually she just put her head on Mom's shoulder and went to sleep! She's too cute! 
Can't wait to see more of her! -Laura Sims
