We will have permanent smiles on our face the rest of the day!!! What a joy to see you with Levi & Jesse in the same picture! Of course I (Carol) am shedding tears of joy! Praise God for getting you there safely! We couldn't be more blessed of your mission! Lots of prayers are being said all over the US for you all!!! We love you & miss you already!

We are so happy! When we saw the picture of you with the boys it seemed so right. Jesse and Levi are so cute and we cant wait until you are home and we can see you all together. Mom and I sat and prayed this morning and it must have been almost the same time you saw the boys. I think it was the Lords way of letting us be a part of it. Love, Mom and Dad

I was so excited when mom called this a.m. and told be to check the blog. Just seeing you in the same picture as them caused me to choke up. I can't believe they are actually with you in the flesh now. I agree with dad that it just seems so right. They are so so cute. We want MORE details when you get a chance! Can't get over Jesse's feet. they are so cute!We love you! LEA

The Reynolds family rejoices with you and is praying that the Lord would give you strength, endurance, and wisdom to live out your faith in Him. We also pray that you will be shedding His light into all the lives you touch over the next few days, especially those of the boys' birth family. Give those boys a big squeeze for us! We can't wait to do the same in person.

We love the picture of you both & the boys. Your dream in life has come true. We will be anxious to hug those little guys too. What a beautiful blessing from God. We wish the best for you this week in meeting the birth parents & other new experiences you will face. We had a fun time babysitting the kids. They were perfect. We love you & miss you. Mom & Dad Henn

Tanya and Layne,

We are jumping up and down at our computer! What a beautiful site to see you and your boys together . . . finally!

It's so amazing to recognize the scenery behind you. You seem worlds away and yet so nearby. We feel that way about Ethiopia much of the time. Part of our hearts belong there and part belongs here.

Our prayers are with you as you continue your journey there. We pray for health, safety, and bonding between both of you and the boys.

We also pray for God's peace about being away from your other children.

Can't wait to hear more and see more. And, especially can't wait to meet the boys!

In Him,
Ben, Sherri, Mari, and Ahman Langton
