Dreams really do come true!!

We have the sweetest girl in the world. She is amazing, amazing, amazing!! She is already bonding and attaching with us. I truly can't describe what it is like to be her parents. We feel like the most blessed people on Planet Earth. There is so much more to tell you about how incredible our Gotcha Day was, but I know you just want to see pictures. :) I understand...all we want to do is stare at her. :)

Here she is!!

First time we saw her.

Abigail with the orphanage director.


First time she sat on my lap.


One of the orphanage staff workers that cared for Abi.

Hello, world!

Our first family photo!

No words!!!


First nap!

Time for a lollipop!

Dinner time! She loves her noodles!!

First big hug from our daughter.

    When I saw the one he was carrying her to the car I could just imagine their "alive" bodies embracing and walking toward your life together.

  18. I've been staring at these photos for over 20 minutes, mesmerized....I'm speechless! But, if you could hear my heart sing it sounds like a symphony! Those pictures of Andrew on the patio and then holding her getting in car... Tears! J & I remember that 1st moment leaving with our child, so surreal! The pics of you hugging & holding her are priceless, your face says it all! Pure joy, love & peace. So happy for you & your beautiful family, we are counting down the days to celebrate with you in person! Enjoy this time alone because there are a lot of people that want to meet her once you're home!!! Ha ha :) Love you! Praise the Lord your gotcha date sounds like it was perfect!
