Meeting Family

We arrived in Jacksonville, FL late last night. Joy will be seeing the dermatologist tomorrow at 1:30 pm. Please pray he only has good news for us. While in Atlanta we were able to spend some wonderful time with all our family. At the Ivey family fish fry Joy was able to meet her Aunts and Uncles and lots of cousins. We also discovered she likes fried catfish. She is a southern girl at heart!! We were showered with gifts and well wishes by all. Thank you to everyone for sharing in our homecoming. We also had the blessing of going to church with Nana and Paps and personally thanking Providence United Methodist Church of Fayetteville, GA for their help and prayers in bringing our Joy home. While there, we were joined by Aunt Gail, Uncle Dennis, Aunt Denise and cousins Bella and Bailey. We shared a wonderful lunch of lasagna and a relaxing afternoon catching up and watching Joy explore and get to know the family.
Finally, we had a great meal with Grandpa and Gammie and said our goodbye's. We can't thank them enough for keeping our children safe and sound while we were away. Joy is doing wonderful and adjusting well. Her appetite has increased but her preferred food is RICE. Imagine that! She is enjoying playing with her cousin Rosemary as we are staying with my mother here in Jacksonville. If all goes well we will be returning home on Saturday, November
1st. Mark has a mid-term to complete so I will sign off and try to post tomorrow evening after our Dr. appointment.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers, love and support!
