Gotcha Day!!

Our day started very early... we didn't get much sleep!  This picture was taken right before we left our hotel to meet Bella Mei!

And then we saw her......

Father to the fatherless, defender of widows-this is God, whose dwelling is holy.  God places the lonely in families.  Psalm 68:56


I can't even begin to tell you how incredible our day was.  She is beautiful and just perfect!  She was playing on a little rocking horse when we got to the office.  I wanted to pick her up right away, but I didn't want to scare her.  So we just sat next to her, kissed her and played for a little bit.  We were able to talk to the orphanage director and she gave us a photo album of some pictures she had been collecting.  That was priceless to me.  I am so glad I have some pictures to share with her when she is older.  After we left the Adoption Office we had to go get her passport picture.  Then it was a trip to the Supermarket...very interesting!  The rest of the day we spent at the hotel just getting to know her.  She was very tired and fell asleep for about an hour.  These are some of the things we already know about our sweet little girl...

          She loves to be held...

       

       She loves to play with her daddy....

She loves music and Daddy's IPad...

This one's for you, Aunt Kim...

She is a really good eater...

And, she HATES the bath!!!

We have had a really great day!  We were able to Skype with our kids so they could see her.  Right before bed she began to open up a little more.  She is a little peanut and thankfully fits in the clothes I brought her.  We are in love already!  Tomorrow we go back to the Adoption Office to sign the official paperwork.  Today has truly been a blessing!  Thank you for all of your prayers.  We have felt them today!  Thank you Lord for all you have done!
