Here is a picture of the crowd of friends and family waiting to welcome them home! Of course, Beckett and Helen ended up being front and center in the picture and the flash seemed to have hi-lighted them, but look past them at the wonderful crowd that was there!
I loved this sign that someone had made. It was the first picture I had seen of Julie and Anna together! She had sent it to some of her family and friends from the day that she met Anna and they had made the cutest poster with the picture! I was so excited to see that picture!
The arrival! They were welcomed like rock stars to cheers from the crowd! So fun!
Julie looked beautiful after the long trip home from Ethiopia! Motherhood looks good on this gal! She was so sweet to visit with everyone and let us all get our first looks at precious baby Anna!
This is the best close-up that I have of Anna.
To check in on Miss Anna and her sweet mommy Julie, go visit her blog! And check out this link with a great video from their welcome home celebration! You can see many of the sweet Ethiopian/American cuties from our area in this beautiful video that was created by one of our local mommas who has a little boy from Ethiopia! You might also see a few Harpers! :)

Oh....fun!!! :)
Andi- Thanks for the sweet post! Homecoming blew my mind....amazing. Thanks so much for being there- the Harpers have been a special part of my adoption journey and I look forward to Anna and Will growing up together!
That was great and enjoyed ready it! What a blessing for these children to be given a family but I am sure bring a bigger blessing to their families. It sounds like a huge support group too. Hope your family is well and take care.
