We got her!!!

We have her in our arms at last! We went this morning at about 10:30 to the orphanage to pick her up and have been loving every minute of it! She has been so good and such a snuggle bug! She loves to be held all the time! We got back to the hotel and laid her down to change her diaper. She started crying as soon as we put her down, so I picked her up and rocked her, and she was asleep in two seconds. She only slept for about 15 minutes (I think Filipe taking a ton of pictures may have had something to do with it). She was a little fussy during the morning and only wanted to be held really close while we walked around. We got the chance to talk to my brother Andrew and Filipe's sister and brother in law, Diana and Ricardo with the web cams over the internet. It was exciting to be able to show her to other people in our family even though they can't be here. After that she fell asleep again, but the second I would try to lay her down she would wake up and cry. The second I would pick her up again she would be fast asleep all over again. In the evening we webcamed grandma (my mom) and headed downstairs to the restaurant for dinner. She was asleep before we even sat down and I was really worried that we would have to hold her all night to keep her asleep, but we laid her down in the pack n play and she is doing great and is fast asleep. So that was the long version of our day. I'll try not to go into so much detail next time. I don't know how we are going to give her back on Friday! It makes me emotional just thinking about it and makes me that much more anxious for our process to move quickly! Please be praying for us that things will be moving quickly and that our next update will have good news about our progress!

She already has her dad wrapped around her finger
