It's Gotcha Day!

Great news everyone - today is Emma's Gotcha Day! We started trip 3 on Friday, but because of flight cancellations we didn't get here until Monday morning. Our driver picked us up at 6 AM and told us to be ready to take Emma from the orphanage in a few hours! So we geared up for the final push, unpacking and readying the apartment for a toddler. We brought gifts for the orphanage staff, and at noon we left Baby House Three with our new daughter Emma Rose Petre! Emma did remarkably well. She toddled out of the orphanage holding one of mom's fingers and didn't look back. Today was her first car ride, first meal with her family, first nap snuggled up against her mom and first bath with us. We are amazed at this incredible child. She toddled around the apartment over and over, then settled right in with us. Right now she is playing on the living room carpet, smiling and pounding on her toys and making us feel so very blessed to be bringing this wonderful little girl into our family.
Right now we need to get our daughter to bed, so I'll have to say goodbye. Don't worry - I'll post pictures tomorrow after we have all had some rest. What an exhausting but exhilirating Gotcha Day it has been! It would not have been possible without the love and support we have received from all of you. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
