We have our gal!

We have Annie! Her nickname is "ahchoo" said like u r sneezing. So for now we r calling her this b/c its also what she calls herself in pictures :)

I will post pics and more details later but in the past 3 hours that we have been with her she has been so sweet and easy going. She was looking at the photo album we sent her and pointing to our pictures when we walked into the civil affairs office. She immediately made the connection. Apparently she's been in a room all with other children about to be adopted and they carry around their photo albums like blankets and open and share them frequently with each other.


















This is the front of the building where we met her.....


She was yawning in the taxi so we came straight home to the hotel, fed her some snacks and noodles, and she fell asleep in about 3 minutes...Now Ev and I are trying to be quiet in our room and wondering how long she'll sleep - and what she will be thinking when she wakes up...

Funniest thing we learned from today were her 2 fears- 1. Thunder and lightning 2. 3 inch insects that wiggle on the bark of a tree (exact translation) I said, a worm? No! Repeat 3 inch insect on the bark on a tree :)

She is super cute and sweet. Laughed some at the office but since we got to the hotel became very quiet and serious. I think she was tired and nervous. But we are so thankful for today, and are so blessed to call her ours.

Thanks for being a part of this special day! Julie and Ev
