Little miss cutie pie!!

Meeting her.

Meeting Lily for the first time

We are home with our new precious addition, Lilyana Wooyoun Ellis. I have waited for a long time to write this post, it is hard to believe the time has finally come. Our trip to Korea was full of adventure but everything went as planned so we could not have asked for better. As far as the adoption itself has gone we have no complaints, things went very smooth for us and our wait time was toward the shorter end of what we were told to expect. God's hand has been guiding (actually leading) this all the way, as always He is good! The hard part was taking a 9 month old baby from the only mother she as ever known, Lily's foster mom has a special place in my heart, what a loving women. It was quite an emotional moment, we were prepared but still it was hard. The first few hours were really difficult because she had no idea what was going on and we did not know how to sooth her. After a while she attached to me and that was very welcomed. We did manage to get her to sleep for 7 hours straight that night so that was positive. Lily did well on the long journey home (we were travelling for about 20 hours that day). People on the plane were so nice and helpful (I recommend flying Korean Air if you ever fly to Korea). Grandma and Grandpa did a wonderful time taking care of the boys while we were gone, even a homemade meal and fresh baked brownies when we got home. They truly are the best!! All three of us were beat when we got home, we were extremely surprised and pleased when Lily went to bed at 6:00 and did not get up until 6:30 in the morning and she slept in her crib, she had never been in a crib before. It was a much needed night of rest for all of us! We are so happy to have our adorable daughter home and her brothers love her tons!! Adoption is a beautiful thing.
