We have Saxton in our Arms...

Today we went to the Civil Affairs Office in Hangzhou and to our surprise, Saxton was already in the building waiting for us. Well, sort of. Ya see, we walked into this room where another couple, that is in our travel group, were handed their baby immediately. We were like, well where is Saxton. Come to find out, on the ride from Yiwu to Hangzhou, Saxton got car sick and threw up all over himself. Therefore, the nanny was in the bathroom cleaning him off.



We finally got Saxton at about 9:15 local time. We could not be any happier that this family just went from three to four. The cutest thing happened shortly afterwards. Saxton started to cry and Sawyer walked over to him and patted him on the head as to say, "it's going to be alright, I've been in your position."



Saxton did arrive in the famous split pants and wearing pink girl sandals. He was so cute.

All in all it was a unbelievably great day except we are having problems posting pictures. So, I will post more later.

What a special picture!!
Shelby is such a great Momma. You all take care of yourselves - you must be exhausted.

Save the pink sandals; they'll come in handy for blackmail when he's about 16 ;)
