We are here in Brussels, Belgium finally! Wow it takes a looong time to fly across the world! We still keep saying "I can't believe we are in Belgium! Who would have thought???" We have actually had a wonderful trip so far. Our plane rides have been very smooth and we got some sleep while flying across the ocean. The airport here is kind of designed like a mall, only with security checkpoints. The main language seems to be French and German, with a little Dutch thrown in to confuse us. It is a little bit stinky and really loud. Clint is admiring everyone's shoes and I can't believe all the men wearing capri pants! Boo, you would love it here. We have about an hour before check in for our final flight. Clint is trying to find someplace to get a coke, but all of the machines only take Euro bills and coins. We have taken lots of pictures from this first leg of our adventure to show everyone back at home. My computer shows that it is 3:03am there. It is strange that the sun is shining and people are running around here and that at home my family is home tucked snug in their beds. I miss them more than I ever thought that I would, and can't wait to get back home to them.
There are a lot of Liberians gathering around the gate waiting for our plane. I am really looking forward to spending that time learning about the culture and listening to those accents. I get tickled everytime I hear them carry on a conversation. We are sooooo anxious to get to Liberia to love on our babies. My heart skips a beat everytime I think of meeting them for the first time. I have played several scenarios in my head - we'll see if any of them are even close to reality! We keep wondering how we are going to get throught these airports at the speed of light toting three extra bundles. It's a good thing our carry-ons roll. I hope they like fast rides!
Love to you all. We will update as soon as we can and share our precious new ones with you all. We miss all of you at home!

I told Hannah again this morning where ya'll were and if she wanted to give you a message. She said to tell you that she loves Kia, Mecky, and Elijah. So be sure and tell them when you see them. I am glad ya'll have made it this far. I guess the next time I hear from you, you will have your babies! How exciting.
