Ahhh. The wait is over. She is so precious. And big. Who knew? I hope the clothes you took will fit her :). Nate - how do you feel about being a big brother finally?!?!?!?

You did wait at the hospital for the delivery of our 2 boys...and we have been waiting here in expectation that "She's arrived!!!" Hallelujah.

Love all four of you!

We love you all soooo much--you are heros who have rescued a precious princess.Nate I love you more than 900 gorillas and you are the best big brother in China

We just got in from our 5+ hour drive home from West Tennessee and pulled up the photos ASAP (we were praying for you enroute as you were in the moments of meeting). Annyyywayyy, Thank you, Lord!! Fenwick family, we can almost hear you laughing in those pictures . . . at least WE were as we saw them and rejoiced out loud for you. Miss Naomi is such a God-given perfect fit -- already so fun and fabulous and, now a Fenwick!! Can it get any better? Again, THANK YOU LORD!!

Lovin' ya -- Bec (and Greg and Luke and Eli and Mollie)

WOW! Naomi is just precious & so big...maybe it's still the layers, but she sure does look well taken care of! :) The pictures are so GREAT & I especially love the last one with Joel & Nate giving her kisses & how Naomi is all smiles. Wait.....I LOVE ALL OF THEM.....it's as if we're all right there along with you..I wish I could be because what an amazing moment I bet that was when you first saw her & then to have her all smiles. We pray that she carries that precious smile with her back to the hotel & things continue to go just as smoothly. But, even if she doesn't.....who could get upset with a face like sweet Naomi :).....she fits her name to a tee! Joel I'm sure, is just eating her up...finally your sweet little girl!!! And, how AWESOME to see Nate's sweet face looking at her & adoring her....Naomi looking back and adoring him...PRICELESS you guys..Oh the memories you will ALL have to look back on and remember this special time! God is AWESOME! We cannot wait to get our hands on her & give her lots of hugs & kisses ourselves! Cannot wait to hear more & see more....I'll be looking at the pics over & over again. We love you guys..the prayers continue!!! Tell Nate we said Congratulations to the best big brother EVER! Love, The Henages

Congrats, guys!!! I'm sorry I wasn't able to write sooner-- life is pretty hectic right now. I must admit, I'm a little jealous . . . :O) Aaron & I will be praying for super bonding between all of you!

Lee-Anne, I'm sorry to hear you've been sick, and I hope and pray you're better. We love you, Naomi, Joel, and Nate very much!

Could that have been a more perfect meeting? What joy everywhere! Emma can't stop watching the video...we love baby Naomi!

What a beautiful family! I am so excited that Naomi is finally in your arms and that she has met her forever family. As I watched the video I just cried tears of happiness for your family, and remembering the day our little girl was placed in our arms (Vietnam). She is so gorgeous and looks very healthy..lol
Cherish each moment and have a safe trip home!

BTW, my sister is a good friend of Kelly's. Hope you don't mind.

Words cannot express my overwhelming joy for your family. She is beautiful. I love the picture of her and Nate and noticed in the video clip that she kept watching him. What a special bond they will have. Thank you for allowing us to have these glimpes in to your family's journey and share in your joy.
