Our first glimpse of him today…

I’ll spend more time later going through all the details of today. But, for now…pictures. In a nutshell, we are in love with this little man.

    I just love the look he’s giving you when you held out your arms to him…it warms my heart!! He did something that it took Lainey a few days to do…SMILE!! In fact, it looks like he’s actually laughing!! He’s every bit as cute as he was in the orphanage photos!! Thank goodness he has clothes that fit him! This California shirt has the year that I graduated from high school! Enjoy the next several days with him…he’s already bonded with you, how great is that?!! And then bring him home to share him…can’t wait! We love you, Dylan!!!!!

    OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! The four of us waiting for this page to load and I screamed, ” DYLAN” !!!! Jon and the kids ran over and we all oohed and aahed over his picture- oh my gosh, he is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO precious, you guys. Jon said, “Lainey grew on me but I already love this little guy!!” Him sleeping is just so precious- all toddlers sleep with their mouth open and their little teeth showing. The picture with his sippy cup and bread looks like Randy was teasing him like he was gonna take his bread and Dylan is holding it away smiling like, ” NO way Jose!!!” So cute. My heart is racing and I am so so so proud. We so love you and are so very happy that he seems so happy and in love with you. Wish I could be there to hug your neck and his. This is when it STINKS that you live in NC. But God has his timing. Thanks be to God for his blessings.

    Did I mention that WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU??? My kids are yelling at me to get them to the school bus and all I can do is keep looking at those five pictures (or six) over and over and just about to cry with joy. Wow, wow wow. We sure love you. We love you Dylan!! Love, Auntie Anne and Uncle Jon in Florida.

    He is absolutely beautiful!!! I don’t care if he is a little boy, and may someday want to be called handsome instead …. but at this point in all our lives, beautiful is the word!!!

    I love seeing him in your arms, and playing on the floor, then sleeping peacefully. Can’t wait to hear more of the next few days of your time together in China, then bringing him home to his forever family. Praise the Lord for all His miracles!!!

    Everyone in this house is excited and waiting on a phone call so they can see more of Dylan. We have looked at his pictures so many times already. Dylan seems to already be accepting his new Mommy and Daddy. And, yes, Dylan is as beautiful as he was in the first pictures we saw. (handsome can come later, but for now he is beautiful). Can’t believe you all have already got him to smiling. I think he “likes” this new arrangement for his life already !! Kids all said hello and hurry and call !!

    I told Christian last night that the Clark family just got a little more blessed :o) We love you guys and we are so happy that God has arranged this beautiful little boy to be a Clark– now we get to spend eternity with him through Christ. Safe travels.
