Hudson's Gotcha Day

Well, today was a big day for the Taylor family!  Around 3PM, Logan and I welcomed Hudson into the family here in Guangzhou, while Claire and the girls welcomed Kira into the family further north in Nanjing.

 

Hudson seemed really excited to see us and gave Logan and I both a big hug.  I gave him a bigger one in return.

 

He and Logan have been playing very-well non-stop all afternoon and evening;  so far they’ve played matchbox cars, nerf guns, and badminton.   Apparently play knows no language barriers.

 

We all shared a good dinner of pork, rice and vegetables at the diner next to the White Swan.

 

We came back to the hotel and did the Skype thing with Claire;  I got to see and say “Hi” to Kira, our new Daughter, as well as all my other girls (more details and photos will follow from Claire).

 

Everybody is showered and in their PJs, but I’m not sure how I’ll be able to get Logan and Hudson to slow down enough to go to bed.

 

Overall, it was a very special day.  God is very good!

How wonderful! He is so handsome. We are praying for all of you. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Oh, and Logan's hug to Claire- thanking you all for adopting him- wow, that was truly a gift. Amazing :-) I love how God sends those timely reminders, when exhaustion sets in and questions start to rear their little heads, to redirect our hearts and align our vision back to Him.
