My very exciting day. By Bolat Andrew
This morning when I woke up things were very exciting around the babyhouse. Many of the older children have been preparing a show for constitution day and this
Is the day they will perform. It is cold and rainy outside so I feel cooler than normal but maybe it is because the caregivers did not dress me in the same way as usual.
I was very excited for my parents to visit today. When they come we play for a long time and I can get them to do anything I want. Except sometimes they are holding another baby and I don't get there full attention, I wonder why that is?
Today, They took many pictures with my caregivers. Then they wrapped me in a blanket and took me outside. They also wrapped Alia and brought her along. (I wondered why that was)
WE got in a machina (car) and drove away from the babyhouse. I have never done that before. Along the road we saw many different things, there were people and animals that I have never seen before also.
We saw a bad wreck on the way and some people were hurt but My uncle Emil drove safely on.
On the ride Alia and I took a nap. I liked the car ride and was sorry to see it end. When the car stopped we were not back at the babyhouse but at some dingey looking apartment.
We got out of the car and My new mommy and Daddy carried me upstairs (5 flights) to their apartment. They also carried Alia upstairs. (I wondered why that was)
There we were just the four of us in the apartment, no caregivers or doctors just us. We got in the floor and played. My mommy and Daddy told Alia and I that they loved us very much and that we were going to be a family and that they would always take care of us. they showed us pictures of people back home. They said they were also to be our family and they couldn't wait to see us.
My mommy is very pretty but she cries a lot; nevertheless, I think I will marry her someday. Alia is also very pretty but since she is to be my sister, I guess I can never tell her. I do stare at her a lot though, She makes me happy. My daddy is strong but not much to look at. He makes me laugh and carries me around so I guess I will keep him as a daddy.
All day long new things happened and I wondered why that was. Now I see that all along God had his hand on Elizabeth and me. We are a family, brought together by God!! Now I know Why that was.
We are short on time as you might have figured out. We posted this fast and hope to get on if we get the kids to sleep tonight.
Yes we do have them in the apartment with us. We knew there was a chance we would get them this early but didn't want to get our hopes up.
More later...

Holly and Sam:Very good I think Bolat would have said it about that way. I guess you know your narrative will have a lot of your female fans in tears.Bolat Andrew Dunning. If this turns out to be his name it will be BAD. A little humor there. I liked that big smile Bolat was wearing. Do I understand it right ou all now get to keep the kids in your apartment? I beat your mother up. I should say she was up earlier and went back to bed. When she sees todays report she will probably be one of those crying. But they will be happy tears. Well the narrative and pictures will be my highlite today. Thanks love poppy...
Again I say "Ain't God good" Dear Bolat, such a good boy you are and you already have some of your daddy s writing talents.. I loffed the picture of you in your daddys lap in the car...Was that your first car ride? Your expression was priceless. Alia looked a little less excited but I'm sure she got over that in a hurry.
How do you think you are going to like your new living arrangement? Just you wait, its going to change again soon and you are going to like it even better. How do you like getting out of those hot cloths...things are surely looking up from now on.
Mom and Dad, I can see in your expressions too, that you are very happy. The babes already look content and we will be praying for you.
Alia, I missed that big smile today, but I'm sure it will come back. I was thinking yesterday how you had gone from a No smiler to almost a little "Ham" "Just show me the camera and I'll show you how it's done"
It makes it even harder to wait to get my hands on you. I'm so excited Is like Im' talking and I can't quit...so I'll probably be back on later, but want to get this posted. Love Nanny
OK...you finally did it! I can't see to type for the tears!! (See Whitney, this is why you need to learn to type without looking at your fingers) A few days ago Whitney wanted to know if I was going to cry when you guys came home....If today is any indication then I would say that would be a yes. O, but I am happy...happy tears
Loved the narrative, Bolat, with your help, your daddy does manage to top the day before!!
I was out last night and this couple was playing with the cutest baby...she was playing right back. And I had to ask the couple how old she was...9 months. OOOOOhhhhhh that is perfect!!
I especially enjoyed seeing Bolat's smile and Alia even in her sleep had a this smile like "I've got a secret"
Sam, surprises are good for the soul...bad for the heart....okay good for the heart too...but I can't quit crying. This is definitely not like me. See what being an Aunt is going to do to me?
Am sooooooooooooo HAPPY for you all (4)!!! Love you All!!
Sara
Wonderful pictures and great story. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow. The rainbow was a beautiful touch!!! Love you all! aunt Jane
Praise the Lord! And yes, this female friend is in tears! So happy for you. I am just speechless....
Sam and Holly, I just got up and couldn't wait to get my computer on. While I was waiting for it to boot up Christy called crying. Now I am crying as I have seen the most precious sight. You have been wrapped in prayers and I am so thrilled for you. What a wonderful present you have given these children. I hope your night goes well with them. We will be praying you through it. I am a little worried that now that you have them all the time you will be too busy to post us and that wouldn't be good for the addiction I have now. Don't put us through withdrawal. Ha Ha. Just kidding. You enjoy every minute with them and we can't wait to see what tomorrow brings! Joy Beth
Poppy, How often do you beat your wife up?
Andrew, I do think you are a much better writer than your dad, of course he has talent...it just didn't come on quite as young as yours did.
Sam, where did you get the walker Andrew was in...and how do you plan on getting it home?
Alia, do you know how pretty you are when you sleep?
Holly, you look so happy and is this mommy deal just comes natural.
Sam & Holly, You guys look great and like things are going well. Am still praying for you. The girls will get home tonight and I am sure they will be on and leave you a post. Love you, can't wait to see you and your family.
Uncle John
Ok. Now that I can see the computer better, I was wondering if there will be a chance of your return trip being sooner? I can only imagine how sweet this time must be. I laugh thinking about when we left the hospital to bring Peyton home and Kent said....what are these people thinking(referring to the Dr's and nurses) letting us take this baby home when we have no idea what we are doing? I know this journey has been long...but you did it! Now we are just counting down the days for your return. I know Baby will be so excited about her new brother and sister! We love you very much!!!
Such a wonderful day. I can only imagine how you must feel after everything. Anxious for so long,,, waiting,,, Most of us only have to eat pickles and Ice Cream,,, I mean,,, you guys had to eat a horse... WOW... and to finally walk into that apartment,,, alone. I am so happy,,, Enjoy your time. Hugs and Kisses from Michelle and the Girls.
Oh, Sam and Holly, I am so happy for you. Holly, I can't imagine you crying about all this! Here I am setting at a computer thousands of miles away and I am bawling my eyes out! If I were you Holly I don't even know if I could function! God is so good. I know we all know this but it is nice to be shown just how good He is in such a wonderful way. Your life will never be the same but oh what fun it is! I am sitting here typing to you with one hand and holding Samantha with the other. I can only see out of one side of my glasses because she has slobbered and grabbed my glasses off my face about 20 times this morning already. Oh yeah and I am bald on one side of my head. To entertain herself while I am typing and blubbering she is slowy pulling out all my hair! Shower? What's a shower? Even so i would not trade it for the world and I wake up everyday wanting her to go ahead and wake so I can be with her. She told me to tell you she can't wait for you to get home with her buddies. You already know how exciting parenting is going to be si I don't need to tell you. We are so happy for you.Also glad to see those babies in cooler clothes! We love you guys! Andrea
Holly&Sam it was good hearing your voice this morning. Hope everything is going good in the apt.with A&E.Love you and Miss you. Dad said it seems like we have a delima, Do we go with "BAD orADD?" MOM&DAD
Bolat, you are quite the orator. Loved hearing about the adventure. You might as well get used to mommy crying and daddy trying to make you laugh (it's in their job descriptions). Now mommy will be able to tell everyone like the old Army commercial "I do more before 9 am, than most people do all day". And off the record, don't worry if they get frustrated with you from time to time, God sent you and Alia along just to sand off any of their rough edges that might develop from time to time. That's right, you two are on God's payroll. Can't wait to meet you guys and start the spoiling (a noisy toy here, some excess sugar there). Last but not least, tell mom and dad that we are thrilled for them and that we miss them alot.
Dear Sam and Holly, I was so intent on looking at A & Es expressions I missed the tears in your eyes at first. I always say sometimes if we don't cry the tops of our heads will blow off. Tears are good.
John I was hopeing no one would catch that Poppy beats me up sometimes, but you were too quick, weren't you. Now the whole world knows our secret.
Kent, I didn't know you were such an orator, love your posts. Do you read a lot or do a lot of thinking? It does seem like they would send new parents home with instructions doesn't it.
Actually we have something better than a book, we have God helping us all along the way. Good thing or mine would never have made it. I'm surprised they did anyway, God was busy.
Sam guess you won't be up in the middle the night looking for posts now, will you. O well, they are probably used to some noise as they sleep.
Love and Kissed Nanny
how exciting!!!this was the best day ever. Tony said to tell you sam that this was the best! God is Great. We love you all for sharing so much with us. love to you and Gods care and blessings to you
oh and I agree with Joybeth, don't forget about us poor souls at home living vicariosly through the four of you, Elva
I didn't think I had a tear left in my body but my eyes got watery when I read the installment from Andrew. Sara said it best; this is a story that is hard to leave (I'm talking about to eat and sleep....forget housework). Thank you for sharing with us!
Oh my gosh!! I'm crying, too! Life begins (began) today (yesterday)--i'm still a bit confused about the time thing. Congratulations, mom & dad. :) We will see you very, very soon.
Anthony, Karen, Blake
I have no words... speechless. God truly "knows the plans He has for us." When we connect with them in that moment in time when His plan comes full circle, our heart is so full and our faith so fueled, it's a virtually indescribable fullness of joy. How appropriate, a rainbow, the sign of a gracious promise! God is truly amazing, His love infinite, His hand so close, you can almost feel it brush against you. Thank you God for your hand of blessing on these four, guide and protect them until they return at your appointed time.
