At 4:04pm on July 4th 2007 Alexis Falen Quast left the Baby House as my daughter, so I’ve ordered fireworks all over America to celebrate. We are now officially a family and I’m officially her mom. What a great feeling!!! Of course, the day didn’t go as planned but it ended great with Lexie sleeping her first night with her Mommy. It may take us a while to get back home but no one can take her away now and that makes everything else just great. So Happy Fourth of July to everyone and when you see those fireworks just remember I ordered them for Lexie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Lou Ann!!!!
We were watching the fireworks last night at Clear Lake as a family and I was thanking God for you and Lexie and hoping you were together and also for our beautiful Jonathan and his first Independence Day as a US citizen. The 4th of July took on a whole new meaning for me as it now has you and Lexie!! All the battles, the hot days, the uncertainty-ALL WORTH every minute now that you are a family and know you are coming home soon. The rest is easy(except maybe that plane ride home but she'll be fine). I bet she sleeps a good portion of it just because of the time change. Anyway, thank GOD you are together and I've so enjoyed getting to know you and following your journey. It is an awesome thing. Soon you will be in Almaty which will feel like total civilization compared to what you are in now. Have fun and enjoy the rest of your trip. I hope your Mom's back is better. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.
