(Mike) Okay, Here we go...the last pictures before the real thing is home!!!




Well, right now they're in the air flying to Hong Kong. The flight from Hong Kong to Chicago leaves at 12:45. They should arrive in Chicago around 2:00 tomorrow afternoon, and then at RDU tomorrow night around 9:00.

I think Sandra has sent the info to everyone that wants to come to the airport.

Jenn and I have had a very long road to this wonderful day. We have had many ups and downs. It has been a very long and trying journey emotionally, but we are very close to finally being united as a family. We want to thank everyone for all the support we have gotten over the past 2 years. It has been the wind in our sails and we don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have the friends and family that we do.

From the bottom of our hearts…. Thank you!

"I'm going home...to a place where I belong..."
That word "home" has a whole new meaning now, Mike. And yours is about to be enlarged by two feet. :) You have done an awesome job on this blog! You've also been a great Uncle to my little bunch and you will be a fantastic Daddy!! You make me proud!!

Dear Lord, keep 'em safe and hold them in Your hands until we get 'em in ours!

Welcome Home Baby Kanah!! (oh, that sounds SO GOOD!!)
We love you so,
Uncle Jeff, Aunt Lisa, and
Cousins Evie, Katie and Grayson

I'm not sure of the flight number but they are due to arrive at 9:08 PM on a United flight. That will be at terminal C. Mike has asked that we wait in the baggage claim area and they will come down when they are ready. I do believe that Mike will be able to wait at the gate for them to step off of the plane! How exciting! Rich and I plan on being at the airport at 8:45 tonight so anyone that wants to come greet the new addition to the wonderful Boykin family should plan on getting there around that time. See you soon!

God is soooo faithful and I thank God for joining the 3 of you together long before anyone had the first thought. Mike, you've done a super job at sharing your thoughts and keeping the site updated and I thank you and Jennifer both for allowing us the opportunity to peer inside your hearts and share the joy and see God's love spread to the far corners of the earth and back home. God bless and enjoy these moments! "S"

Mike, What are doing to pass this long day? I know you are a bundle of nerves. I wish we could be there to get a peek of her. Just please bring her to Wilson soon. Your grandmother said this morning she wanted to meet her as bad as Jean did. I love you all and thank you for this blog. You have done a good job.

Love ya
Polly

O.K., Mike. Throw us a bone. Are they in Chicago yet? Have you heard from her?
