This week has been one filled with excitement. Late Wednesday night, the Ankerich family (minus two) arrived at SFCV. It was such a joy to meet my dear friend Sharon who I have been talking to for months now on Facebook. She is even more wonderful in person! My excitement of seeing her was doubled because she brought with her my gifts from Gretchen! After a month of being here, it was great to receive a little piece of home. Maybe the best part is the Tapatio which I have already used many times...Sara loves it too!
Thursday morning was a joyous occasion. Will Perry met his family for the first time! There were a few tears, but it didn't take him long before he was calling out Mama and Baba to his amazing parents. He loves his sisters too. He knows Rosie, Ella, and Jing in person as they are the three that were able to make the journey, but this morning I saw Savannah and Amelia on the other end of a Skype call. It is impossible to put into words how wonderful it all has been. I have enjoyed the time with them here. I especially have been having fun with Ella and Jing. They are two of the sweetest little girls with warm smiles and big hugs.
After the short time they've spent with us, it is easy to see that Will Perry's forever family will be our family forever. Many blessings to you all as you embark on this grand journey. What an honor it was to be a part of it. We will miss you...hurry back :)
