The Baileys have arrived and all ten of their bags along with them! Thank you Lord!
Randy just called and I got to speak with Greg and Melanie! They sound great. The trip has been smooth and their girls have been great troopers.
It was great to hear their voices! I am so excited that they are here. I feel a great anticipation about our time together. I am expecting sweet blessings and memories being made.
Can you imagine how excited Tori is to have their 3 girls here? She has been studying their picture for the last 2 weeks. Melanie told me tonight that when they came through customs that Tori came running towards the girls and gave them all a big hug. I loved hearing that!
Not sure if they are returning to Aplahoue Sunday or Monday. We will be eagerly awaiting their arrival here! Keep checking back!

Loved reading your updates...the mouse story was hilarious!! So glad Suzy asked you to share it! Your Tori has the most tender (and bold) heart. I need to sit at your feet for awhile when you return and soak up some of your parental wisdom!
Can't wait to see pics of the girls...especially Faith's..I love meeting other little girls named Faith...I wonder if she looks anything like ours?
Love you guys!

I have been checking your blog for awhile now, but never posted since we've never really met. I feel like I know you because Chad (my husband) and Sam were friends growing up, I was in club with Becky, and I love your parents. They are two of the most kind, generous, faithful people I know! And they ovviously raised some great kids! I appreciated your comment on my blog. Chad and I will continue to be in prayer for your work in Africa, and are praying about the possibility of visiting Africa in some capacity in the next few years. Blessings on your sweet familiy. Our prayers are with you through the adoption process.
Kelly,
Please tell Greg & Melanie that I am out in blogworld and will be checking in to experience their stay with you...what an incredible way the Lord has worked out their return visit to Benin! 10th year anniversary...your final year of work...solo on the field...someone who knew the Chownings like you to share in the grief...and just basic good timing!! Can't wait to read more!
Rest even though you have guests!!!
Love you,
Beth

Glad to know everyone and every bag arrived safely. Blessings on your time with them. I know it will be incredible to have them there with you. Can't wait to hear their reaction to things since they've been gone from Benin.
How's Randy by the way? Is his malaria bout still on-going? Hope you are doing better too Kelly. Rest well.
