After many months of waiting the moment finally arrived for us to touch and hold our son. In a rare occasion we were able to go to the orphanage today to visit Evan. It was truly a "golden moment" in life -- one of those moments you won't ever forget. Tomorrow we go back to for the Giving and Receiving Ceremony (G&R). Again, it was God's Gracious hand that allowed the G&R to be tomorrow, because none of ou five suitcases came until just two hours ago. Going without gifts was awkward but Mr. Binh was very, very gracious. He & his wife are precious, loving, patient and caring. For any other Holt families who might be adopting out of this orphanage- be assured that your children are deeply loved there!
BELOW: Kayla our oldest with now our youngest:) "Look guys he's a TWO finger sucker:)" Evan had no problem being held by kayla.
"I think we have the same shape of nose:)" Eric with Evan. Wow! He is definitely a "feather weight." Like so many of the Vietnamese children, Evan seems so tiny; but then again when I walk through a crowd here in VN I tower in the crowd.

We have been waiting for these! Awesome!
Get lots of rest there Kayla! Evan looks like he wants to have fun with you this week.
He looks GREAT! So precious! He is going to love your other kids. Looks like your oldest will be a second mom for him. Tell her it is like playing with a live doll. So happy you are there with Evan. Enjoy your time. Takes lots of pictures. CONGRATULATIONS on your new darling!!!!!!

YIPPEE!! He's such a cutie pie. Congratulations. Great to see pics of you all together.
Dearest Friends, how we anticipate welcoming you all home! Can we be the ones to introduce Evan to deep fried turkey? Thank you for allowing us to share in this amazing adventure... The Lord is good! Praise Him for the technology that makes this all possible! JT & Gerry Whinnery
