Meeting Mugisha

We're here. What a day it's been! We'll give you more details about how we arrived and how our bags didn't later, but for now we know you just want to see Zeke! So we'll let the pictures speak for themselves. We'll work on editing the video soon and get it up for you. We're running low on brain power at this point having only slept about 5 hours since Wednesday morning. But we've got some good footage, so stay tuned!


Just slightly larger than the Carlsbad airport, though not as nice!


Driving to the Home of Hope Orphanage - the famous blue gate!


Signing the Act of Adoption with Sister Catherine


Meeting Zeke!






Finally with Mommy and Daddy!

It all seems a bit surreal. We can't believe we're here and have met our son. He's really a cutie. Videos to come.
By the way, we're 9 hours ahead of California time. It's 9:30pm Friday night as we're posting this. So it's 12:30pm in California.
We're heading to bed. Good night!

Yahooooo! It was lunch time here and we thought... "ah, today is FRIDAY!" So right in the middle of lunch the kids and I ran to look on your blog... only to find these amazing pics of your little darling in your arms! Then we screamed - only because Scott wasn't home to listen to us screaming with excitement.
And we are assured, yet again, of our creative and good God.

Rest well!

Love,

The Harrys

Scott here. God is certainly GOOD. When the girls called me I was sitting at the City of LA offices and I did a little happy dance. Can't wait to see the video!!! Love you both.

Congratulations!! Love the pix! The look on Zeke's face is very similiar to the look Josh had on his face when we met him. We're praying for you guys!! Hope you're getting some good rest & that you'll bond well with Zeke!

Lots of love~ The Berk Family

All praise and glory to God! We are following your story through your brother and sister-in-law (Wade and Tracy) here in Colorado - Such a cool thing, he is beautiful. Praise God we are all adopted children through Jesus!

DMac...Heidi. We are so so thrilled for you and you waiting on the Lord. So exciting to see Zeke & you with him. He doesn't even know yet how God's blessed him with a an amazing family. How are the kids back home? What are their feelings? I'm thinking they're pretty excited as well. Praying for the transition..oh & rest! SDown
