Gotcha Day happened around 2:30 !
There were around 20
families receiving their child at the same time. A very loud room!!! Hannah was
very upset and cried and screamed. Because the Orphanage had chicken pox they
did not let her in and had just said good-bye to the foster parents. A very
traumatic day already. I could not calm her down and she reached out for Sammy
and as he took her she instantly stopped crying. We had lots of papers to sign
and money to pass over and she sat with Sammy quietly. Only he could hold her.
She finally fell asleep on his shoulder. He was the proud
big brother! She was smitten with him the rest of the day. We had a quiet
afternoon and evening. She is asleep in our bed as I write this. She was used
to sleeping with her foster mom-so weaning her to her own bed will be a step
for another day. She ate everything we had for her and threw her trash away in
the waste basket. She likes her way very much :0 and is strong -willed :0 She laughed a lot this evening ! Liz -she is
in your pj's that you gave her :) A day to remember for the rest of our
lives!!! And now a new chapter has opened for the Creech family. Thanks for
your prayers-support and love!-
Love Lisa, Marty, Sam, and Hannah :)
This is incredible! She is beautiful, and Sam must feel like the man. We are so excited for all of you.

ReplyDeleteTears of joy are falling down my face. I am beside myself with praise. She is so precious, and extra darling in those jammies. She is so cute. I am so glad that Sammy had such precious moments with her. Take Care, Love you, Liz

ReplyDeleteHannah is so precious. I'm crying as I read this and look at the pictures. Praying for a smooth transition and hopefully some rest! We can't wait to meet her, she is going to be so dearly loved here! Love, Annie and Rob
ReplyDeleteA big, big day, and she has already taken a shine to her big brother Sam.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful, pray for your safe travels and her transition. She knows she is safe, valued, and loved.
Jack and I are heading to your home in the morning to spend time with Mom and Dad who are doing great. I am bringing a laptop so they can see the blog since Mom can't make it up the stairs.
Text when you have Wi Fi, and prayers for a safe journey. Love, Erik
What a wonderful day that came as a result of so many prayers! We're so happy for y'all. I'm so glad Hannah instantly took to Sammy.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, my heart is swelling with joy for you! These pictures spoke to my heart so beautifully. The Omnipotence of our Father in Heaven and our Beloved Savior Jesus Christ. What a blessed little girl to have you both as her parents and an amazing brother. The smiles speak for themselves. I love you!
