The newest members of the gang...

Tuesday evening we loaded up and took a road trip to DFW to pick up our newest Horton! Jason's brother and sister in law have adopted the most precious girl from Korea. We were quiet the sight traipsing around the airport in our matching "welcome home, Kentlee" t-shirts. Her flight was scheduled to be in at 10:04 PM and at 12:14 AM we were all still running around baggage claim hipped up on McDonald's ice cream and coke! Her Denver flight had been cancelled, then changed, then cancelled, then changed again. It was all good because anyone who knows the Horton's know that that's just how we roll!! We are all about changing plans at the last minute!!;)

It was such an amazing experience for all of us. We have all been anticipating Kentlee coming to us from Korea for well over a year. The last six months we have been in "any day now" mode. Nothing can prepare you for the wealth of joy you feel to see that baby come through the gate. It was awesome.

Here are a few pictures. Remember, this was around midnight!!

Ma and Pa with 10 of their now 18 grandbabies.
The plane had landed and we were just waiting to see her...



This was literally seconds after she walked into a sea of Horton's!! I think she likes us!!:)

Welcome home, Miss Kentlee...

She literally leaped into her Mommy and Daddy's arms. She was born to be one of us. She laid her head of ALL of our shoulders as she was happy to let every single one of us hold her. O. MY. WORD!! She is SO beautiful and we all love her like crazy already!!:)

Let's not forget the newest member of my household. Meet Samson.

Isn't he so stinkin cute? He's a Great Dane and will take up our entire living room when he is grown! Good thing we sold our house and will (fingers crossed) have a little more space for him to fill up!!:) Please pray for our house hunt. It is becoming a little frustrating!!

So far, so good on the puppy business. Only 2 accidents in the house and we've had him since Wednesday. Knock-on-wood! I'm just waiting for devil dog to come out in him. We've never had much luck with smart dogs!

Happy Friday!
