It's been a very long, emotional, and exhaustion day. Words can't express what it was like to meet Alina. We know that God has chosen her to enter our lives in a very special way. She is already a perfect fit. She looks like me (Todd), is tough like the boys, and laughs and plays like Meg. And, she likes to cuddle like her mother. We'll write more about the journey later. For now, here is Alina Faith Hollis...

Anne and Todd,
She is so sweet! You already look like a family. It is hard to determine who has the biggest smile!
Meg is getting the greatest gift of all...a sister!
We are so excited for you and the three other little Hollis' children in Peoria.

We can't wait to give Alina a hug.
Stay safe and hurry home.

Hi Anne and Todd,
She is adorable. Can understand why you could not wait to bring Alina into your hearts and home.
Would love to fast forward to when the four Hollis children are all under one roof.
Thanks for sharing the amazing pictures with all of us.

Love, Janey

She is adorable!!!!!!!!!!! Pam and I are reliving our experience through you guys. It has brought back great memories. It seems as if we are with you as we look at the pictures of the town and of the awesome old buildings that surround the downtown.
Pam and I wanted to let you know that it does get easier to talk on Skype with your kids. We had to hold back tears at first. It is awesome how tech. has allowed us to be able to talk to our love ones.
Enjoy the trip and how GOD will show you how he is with you throughout the trip as HE did with us.

Wow, what a smile she has! She was saving that just for you! She is precious. Glad things are going so well. Can't wait till you get to bring her on home.
Hey Anne, that picture of you as you hug her is probably one of the best pictures I've ever seen in my life!!!! Todd, yours aren't to bad either :-)
and btw - it was a major pain to post this comment!
I don't know if you remember my husband and I (Travis and Amy Larson) but we sat with you at the HOIDSA Christmas dinner. We have a now 10 month old son Jeremiah. I have cried (pretty hard I must add) looking at the pictures of you wither your new daughter. She is so precious. No words to describe how wonderful this is. Blessings!
Hey guys!
She is sooo cute!
I can't wait till you bring her home. I'll be in discoverland for you!
God Bless!
