Day 40....They are in America!

2:20 TN time....

Savannah-Hope is home! She is at her house with her forever family! Crystal had quite the adventure getting home, but they made it! Savannah-Hope was a little overwhelmed at the airport meeting all the new faces at once. Now that she is at home she is warming up and should do fine. She is a very easy going and content baby by nature. I promise to get airport and forever family pictures on the blog as soon as they are emailed to me. On behalf of Crystal and her family I want to thank all of you blogger folks for your endless hours of prayer and support throughout this journey.

10:15 TN time......

I just got off the phone with Crystal. They are in Atlanta and have made it through customs! Praise the Lord! Savannah-Hope is an amazing traveler and hasn't cried once. She slept most of the way and has been content in either the bassinet or her mama's arms. The rest of the travel has been a bit of a crazy adventure. Somehow they weren't confirmed on any of their three flights and only by the grace of God made it on each flight without paying outrageous fees. Their custom's packet that had been sealed at the Embassy in Malawi was not complete. But again God stepped in and they have been cleared.

In about an half hour they will board their final flight to Tennessee. They should arrive their at 1pm.

Thanks for all your prayers. As soon as somebody sends me airport pictures I will post them on the blog. I can't wait!
