Luke has arrived, March 31

Dear all,

I know I owe you all blogs for the last few days--they are in the works. But we wanted to let you know that as of this morning, Nanjing time, we have been united with Luke. We will return to the adoption office tomorrow to make things official (we have 24 hour custody right now). After two years of waiting, we have finally met the fourth member of our little family. Hooray!

Lucas' first bottle--the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Note Auntie Pam in the background, whose help in today's circus was heavenly, to use a Chinese adverb.
