Van rides an airplane to meet some very special people

His first airplane trip since coming home from China...and boy was he excited! We took a quick trip to Atlanta to meet with our adoption agency, One World for their annual family picnic. And we also got to visit with and stay with extended family for the weekend. We were so excited to have everyone, especially Julia, our adoption coordinator meet Van. Julia worked with us day and night through the long wait and the giant piles of paperwork. She played such a big role in bringing Van home to us. We were also thrilled that Van got some quality play time with Shawn who is turning 5 soon and was really our inspiration to look at the special needs list from China. Shawn is also cleft and he's already been through many tough surgeries but he's a trooper and just a doll. Needless to say, the boys were pals from the start. And then there was the awesome hospitality of our southern family! Van got to meet his boy cousins and they broke out all the cool toys and entertained him every waking moment. It was an all about Van weekend (there aren't many that aren't around here) but this one was super special!
