HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM KOREA!!!
Good morning from Korea and Happy New Year!! All is well, the flight felt like it was never going to end but we arrived safe and very tired. We were all in bed at 830 last night and slept until 7 this morning. Kaytlin was actually up at 300 playing her DS in the bathroom so she would not wake me up. We just had Burger King and Dunkin Donuts for breakfast so you know the kids were in heaven:) Our flight leaves at 1:20 and we should arrive in Mongolia at 4pm and get to the Childrens Place around 5 to meet our sweet daughter and sister!! Yes, we are so very anxious. All we see every time we turn around are beautiful little Asian girls smiling at us. We can't wait for our sweet girl to smile back at us.........very soon!!! We love you all, thank you for all the sweet thoughts and prayers. More from Mongolia........

Hi Everyone, this is Christine (Amy's Mom); this Blogger account is the greatest invention. I am over Amy's and have had the opportunity to read about your trip so far. This is sooooo exciting. Happy New Year to all of you and what a happy new year this will be. Sooooo happy for all. God Bless and I will talk to you again soon. Take care and give Maiah a big hug and kiss from me.
Meme & Pepe are besides themselves, keeping track of everything....I think we are all going nuts here..knowing that in a few hours, Maiah will meet her mommy, daddy, brother & sister for the first time....It is amazing how this one little girl has brought all of closer to the Lord & to each other..... Thank you guys for the opportunity to share in your journey...
Love to all 5 of you,
~Aimee, Bryan, Logan & Hannah
~Meme & Pepe too ~~~
I am so happy to hear that you guys made it there safely. any chance you all slept the entire 16 hour flight? i'm sure with all of the excitement you hardly even closed your eyes....what a happy new year this is for all of us...i have no desire to watch the ball drop tonight. the excitement for me this year is logging on to the computer in hopes that you have some news to share. i can't wait to hear about your first face to face contact with little miss maiah tomorrow...she is so beautiful in photo's i can just imagine how cute she is going to be in person. give her a big hug and kiss from all of us ...xxoo
ps. memere mad,
liv wants to know if the next time she sleeps at your house if maiah will be able to come as well???? so cute!!!!! we love you all
Mad & I talked tonight...neither of us can sleep...can't imagine what they are thinking on the plane....Joanna----keep having the dreams...so we will feel like we are there too!
XOXO to all.
Amy B tell Liv absolutely. Isn't this so exciting. They didn't sleep much on the plane but they were all in bed by 8:30p.m. when they got there and slept till 7a.m.(except for Kate who got up at 3 and was quietly playing her DS in the bathroom to not wake them up:))I can not wait for Maiah's first picture on this blog.
Love,
Memere Mad
OK-----I am wide awake for my day off...They had to have met the baby girl by now...I am praying that all is well---but why wouldn't it be with all God has carried them ALL through.... What a way to start the New Year off !!!

Happy New Year All!!!
I am "blog illiterate"...I have had to change my password 3 times for it to recognize me...aaaggghhh!
I have enjoyed keeping up even though I have not "posted to due technical difficulties" hahaha
HOW EXCITING IS THIS!!!
Cannot wait for more info...keeping the hanky by my side
Love You!
By now it should be the Petrin 5. God is awesome. Happy New Year all.
Chris & Lauren
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!
!WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG????I CAN'T STAND THIS. I ACTUALLY GOT UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAD BEEN POSTED.....I WANT TO SEE PICTURES OF THIS PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL.....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they have Maiah and they have forgotten about the rest of us!:) Actually they are in a new hotel now in Mongolia and they may not have established internet access and seeing it is now 11:00p.m. they may have gone to bed and will work this out tomorrow. Derek told me yesterday he hadn't found free wireless internet anywhere yet and wrote to us last time from the computer that the hotel had in Korea.

Well, this is frustrating!! I waited as long as I possibly could to check the blog, because I wanted to be sure to give you all a chance to put up some pictures with Maiah in your arms, and there's nothing here!!!!! I'm dying over here -- sorry if i'm cranky, I haven't gotten any sleep for the last two nights because I keep thinking "well, they're probably checking in for the flight now" "Now they're getting on the plane," "Only another hour and they'll be there" "Okay, they have probably arrived at the orphanage by now" ETC ETC ETC. This time zone thing is a hassle! Well, sleep tight, Petrin's -- we've waited this long, what's a few more hours/days?
We love you . . .
I think everyone participating in this blog is going to be more tired than the Petrin's! We are all up at all hours! :)Happy New Year to all!
Love,
Mad
It has been soooo busy I could not get on line to see that you had done this. I thank you for letting me part of this journey. I will keep New Bedford family updated as much as possible. God Bless you two big cheeks! I hope all is well and you are all safe and healthy. I can't wait to see the new family picture since we didn't get one this Christmas.
Love,
Kim
