Friends Hi Boo-Boo...From the "Spicy Girls Rule!" picture, it looks like you've made a friend. I hope that friend is a girl, otherwise, Baba...did you regulate? hahahaha...remember, the first boyfriend is a sacrifice and the rest will be considered! She looks so happy and comfy with you two now. I'm glad she's a cat lover!!!
VERY, VEry, very HAPPPY! Wow! It just seemed like yesterday when you took off from China, and now you're coming back!! I just twisted my neck so it's taking a long time to write this. We are all pr--ing for you that you'll come home safely and healthy. I'm talking the most about you guys and Sarah at home. I just get so excited about new babies being born and/or adopted.

She's so Precious!!! It has been such a blessing and privilege to share your adoption adventures with you. Sarah is so special as are the two of you. We are thoroughly enjoying all that you have shared with us and look forward to your entries/pics everyday. No doubt, the Lord's plans for you and Sarah were perfect as was His timing. We can hardly wait to meet your little princess and will be praying for good health, continued bonding, safety and a smooth trip home. Looking forward to seeing all of you!
kiss sandwich I love those (kiss sandwiches)! It's so fun to hear the squeals of laughter when you're smooching together with your baby. You have fallen into the role of parents so naturally! Can't believe the 2 weeks has already almost gone by! Prz for all the fun memories you've already built together. Many many more to come... can't wait to see you ALL!
See you soon! Yes... get used to the mess whenever you have meals. We have a plastic mat on the floor,a towel on her high chair seat and a dustbuster near by. We also learned to tip a little bit more because of the big mess we leave behind! :) See you guys Friday around noon at your folks house? I hope I remember how to get there.. and no... I will not be screeching around the corner like before... I have a different car this time around. :) Hugs, Cez

Godfrey and Stacey - our family has enjoyed reading your blogs - thank you so much for sharing this special time with all of us! We look forward to meeting Sarah! She is so blessed with you two wonderful parents, and I'm glad she is figuring that out day by day! We continue to pr- for your health, travel, smooth paperwork, and continued bonding with Sarah.
amazing! i just read like 5 blogs in a row b/c i've been gone on my orientation trip and whatnot..but just reading through all of your experiences brings tears of joys to my eyes! you guys have no idea how excited i am for you all!! there's no doubt in my mind that the L has been so faithful and good! i've been pr'ying for you and i love reading about all your travels and experiences. i can't wait to come home and meet sarah!! i'll be home on sept 3rd and sept 11th! i love you guys!
great pics1 goff/stace! congrats on baby sarah. she is so cute. yeah the preachers from the south have a twang to their speech. you get used to it after a while.
Geography Y'know...I think Sarah's just trying to create her own clothing line and designs. I'm all for it. Be sure to take some photos so I can be inspired for the next line of Zoe Wear! OR...maybe she's trying to make maps on the front of her shirt of where she's been and where she's goin'. That girl's goin' all over the place! Love you all! See you soon!
Almost home! Thanks you guys for your blogs... it's really been exciting to read all about your adventures as new parents. I love this line: "Half of the time we were chatting with other people, so we didn’t even pay attention." Better get used to having someone else to watch - believe me, it's hard to remember that sometimes! ("Erin? Where's Erin? Do you have Erin? No? Then who does?") Hee hee. So glad to see you guys looking more alert and awake and Sarah so happy to be in your arms. Can't wait to see her in person. Have safe travels and praise for your new family!
We journey with you as you tell us about awesome China, which we were fortunate enough to see and not nearly as details and devotedly as you are experiencing. This will be a live altering time in so many ways and Sarah will bring much to us with her presence. Can't wait. Love, Marlene and Don too.
BTW... .. loved the maps SPH!! You used your degree well!I on the other hand am still map-inept... thank goodness for Mapquest. Also.. looks like you'll be in NorCAL Fri Sep 2?

Whew! What a world-wind trip this has been for you both! Pr-ing that you three remain healthy and strong. Sarah sounds just like our little Hannah. Eats most things, gets into everything, and is a ham with everyone who gives her the time of day. I can't wait for them to meet :) That Hip Hugger looks great! I have to get me one of those since Hannah loves being held. Not great on the back so any help will do. She's too big for the Bjorn. Can't wait for the day when Boo-boo's saying 'Mama' and 'Baba'. :) BTW, my sister's friend also is adopting a girl from China (the Hunan province) and went to China the same time you did. I think their agency was HOLT (sp?). I wonder if you both crossed paths at all.
Much love, Cez
A glimpse of what to come with Wendy/Brian! We are so excited for you and your new daughter Sarah. She is so cute and from all your comments a real blessing from God. We are impatiently waiting for Wendy/Brian's turn to go to China for their daughter! We enjoyed your "bloggers" to update your journey. What a neat idea! Looking forward to seeing Sarah when we come to LA.
How Old is she? Sarah is beautiful!! And she has changed just through the photos on the blog. What a treat this is for me. I'll be a little sad when you get home because these are the highlight of my day and I always end in tears. What a beautiful, awesome testimony these journals have been! I know there are great plans for you!
Sandy
BABY!!!!!! hi stacey and godfrey!! We are so happy that sarah is becoming so comfortable with you two and we can't wait to see her at home! She is the cutest thing we have ever seen and know that G-d has blessed you with this wonderful child. We'll be pr--ying for your health and safety and hope to see you three soon!! WE LOVE YOU GUYZ!!!
Love, Jeanette and Kai
...already a seasoned world traveler! Loved the blog entries - has given us a window into your new life with Sarah - and we get to see you guys in action as parents. So exciting! Can't wait to see you guys when you get to HK. Your social butterfly will continue to amaze and bless you both - we can't wait to meet her (MJ didn't like peaches when he was that little either - he's 3 going on 4 now and is only now willing to experiment with them again). Hugs and dim sum await when we see you...
Blossoming!! Yay! Great to hear about all the blossoming going on! Sounds like it's springtime in your lives! It's great that Sarah isn't getting sick but is up and about and feeling very comfortable! We will pr for daddy and mommy to get well soon and also start praying for all of you physically as you transition to the States later next week! The pics continue to be great!
Boo-Boo Boo-boo...this auntie can't wait to meet you but unfortunately you'll have to meet Valerie first. The rest of us will be away at a retreat. Maybe if you're extra good (and ask REALLY nicely), Mommy and Daddy will let me come over when we get back. I think the car ride up to camp might be a bit much - wouldn't want you to be overstimulated either! Ok...love you much! Can't wait to meet you soon...just a little over a week! Ahhh...my boo-boo name sake!
Hi guys, thanks so much for taking us along on this journey with you and letting us share in every exciting milestone! We praise G for all the progress you've made with Sarah in such a short time. Thankful that she's taking to you more and more each day and looking forward to welcoming her home. Had lunch with Rudy T and DanKa today and shared some of your exciting entries with them. Love all your blogs so keep them coming! Will continue to P for safe travels, bonding, memorable moments, special times and exciting adventures as a new family. Erin and Dylan can't wait to meet baby Sarah!
