Macy Li's Homecoming

Dreamin' of home. I've flown all over China, but this flight brought me across the world to The United States of America! Almost there! See my little piggy? Mommy sent that to my orphanage a few weeks ago, and my caretakers gave it back when they came to China to get me...


All these people just for me?! I was welcomed home by an awesome crowd Wednesday night at the Nashville Airport. My mommy had the tear-duct issue flare up again, but I'm gettin' used to that. I've been told that all these people who came out to see me have all been praying for a long time for me. My mommy says I'm the most blessed little girl on the planet and I believe it. A bunch of my mommy's friends came dressed in pink from head to toe! Everyone was so happy and now I want to get to know all these great people...


First moment at home with Mommy and all my "ge ge's"...I'm still processing that horrible torture-device called a "carseat!" They say it's for my best, but I'm not buying that one bit!!

Isn't it funny that the sign front & center says "No Waiting in This Area"? It was SUCH FUN to see you safely home with this little peanut and to watch the joy on Big Brothers' faces. They couldn't get enough of her!! We're so thrilled for all of you and are excited to watch this little princess grow up. Love you all, Suzanne for all the Kroekers

Sha here with Rob, Haley, and Noah Hamilton. Rob says your baby is a cutie and that he can take that #9 guy in the football uniform any day of the week. Haley: She is so beautiful! I bet you wish you could've taken a few more of those babies home! Me and Mom decided we are gonna have to come and see her soon since I was not in town to see her the airport. I am so happy for you and your family...she seems like such a sweet little blessing! Noah: She looks very cute.
