Gage's Airport Arrival:) April 2013

 

I know I'm behind my posts, but here are the airport photos of Gage's arrival from Paraguay... FINALLY!

 

 

A friend made this banner for us to take to Bradley.

It was gorgeous!

                                    Here are some of the chitlins who were able to join us!

Family and friends we can always count on:) 



 I waited for what seemed like forever for him to get off that darn plane! He was the very last one. For someone who doesn't enjoy a lot of attention, he sure built up the suspense!!

 My prince is back home

 Madrina patiently waited for me to finish hogging him up!

Hugs for everyone! I know Noel was happy to see him too. Her family has been in his life since he was 5:)

 

 This gentleman was instrumental in helping Gage retrieve a lost bag. He seemed impressed with Gage's story and was very kind! Thanks, Mark!

 

 YAY! While we were driving to the airport, a family in another van had smiled at us a few times and I couldn't figure out why they were smiling at us. After we arrived at the airport, I realized that it must have been all the writing on the van that caught their attention. The other window said, "Returned from a 2 year mission in Paraguay!"

 My sister had finals and couldn't make the airport gathering, but she was eagerly awaiting his arrival at Captain Jimmy's in Agawam.

 The thumbs up is a nod to Paraguay. Gage had told us that everyone there gives a thumbs up for photos.

 We wanted him to feel at 'home'.

 Cousins

 YAY! Adrean made it!!!!

 Gage, Titi Neli, Adrean, Titi Paula and Beba
