We are overwhelmed with joy! We received this video from the Rutland Family who traveled to Ethiopia last week to pick up their children!
This video far exceeds anything we could have hoped to receive. Enjoy!
Special thanks to Andy Ish for trying to make her smile on camera!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet this precious Hope!
HI Garners! It's Carrie (Blackmer) Johnson! I just heard about this amazing story and I am so excited to hear about your return with precious Hope! This video is such a blessing! To be able to "see" her for such a long video!! I know it's only 3 1/2 minutes, but doesn't it seem like hours? So much to take in..... Love it and am so excited for all of you!
ReplyDeleteGarners..... Andy Isch here.... the dude in the video..... how great this blog is.... and what great memories it brings back for me to see Hope in the pictures. My time with my sister and brother-in-law adopting their 6 month old twins was remarkable..... and Hope only added to the the incredible joy we all experienced!!!! When I was at the transition home with Hope, I knew she was special..... I nick-named her Izzy because of that great hair!!!!!! But the name Hope fits her perfectly! Sure look forward to seeing you all sometime in when I visit Mike and Beth. Thanks again!!!!! Andy
