o'mara...party of 3!

you wouldn't believe how many people have emailed asking me for updates on evelyn.  i love how the internet brings people together...in a non-creepy way!  :)  i finally got around to getting my pictures off of my camera, so here you go...

on sunday afternoon, a group of us got a small caravan together to welcome home the new family.  we were a sight with all of our american flags and red, white and blue balloons!








before amy and patrick made their way out of the terminal, we got to welcome home another very important person.



we didn't know him, but we cheered for him nonetheless!  watching him walk out and hug his mama was so special.  they may have thought we were crazy, but at least we looked official!

and after waiting for what seemed like an eternity in this spot...



they arrived!



and then evelyn proceeded to walk around like she owned the joint.  she went to any and everybody and didn't get upset about a thing.  pretty impressive for a kid that had been awake for 24 hours, don't ya think?!?

even these folks were oohhing and ahhhing over her.


but, can you blame them??


welcome home, o'maras!  all 3 of you!

I have checked her blog multiple times every day! I read the one with pics of when they met her and I couldn't stop crying all night. I literally had to stop while brushing my teeth to pull myself together. They seem like such a precious family. I know this little one has been prayed over for a very long time!

I've been waiting for this - asked Big George the other day if there was any news. Also would like an update on your friend who was here at Vanderbilt for tests. Hope this doesn't sound creepy - but I read your blog every day. So much fun keeping up with the boys! Aunt Sarah
