Meet Landon! Gotcha Day-present

It took a couple days for us to settle down and fiddle with the VPN enough to update the blog.
First and foremost, thank God for what we have experienced over the past 2-3 days. As you all know, we fell in love with this little guy through pictures a few months ago, but nothing could have prepared us for the feelings of love and joy we have experienced in such a short time. Words can not express.
Landon was at the pickup location when we arrived and we walked in to him standing there waiting for us. He has had an exceptionally easy time (compared to what we feared). There were a few tears on his part (tons on our part-lol) and other than obvious fear for all the newness of the surroundings he was doing well enough to eat and sleep through the night on the first night!
He is about where we expected him to be developmentally and other than being 21.5 pounds we could not be more pleased with his appearance and health. He is a champion eater. We snipped a larger hole in the nuk bottle and he downs 8oz in no time! This little guy is a fighter and trooper!
He has even been super easy to travel with over the past two days of acquiring applications, etc. from various government offices. Today we traveled to Zhoukhou (his home city) to apply for his passport. The drive was 2 1/2 hours each way! He was a live wire on the first leg of the trip but slept almost the whole way back.
Now that we have the VPN working I will try to post again soon.
Continue praying for our travel. We all need to stay healthy and survive three more plane rides, one of which is almost 13 hours!!!
God has big plans for this little man!
We love you,
Danl, Dedra, and Landon
