Unforgettable...

We picked up Sophia this morning.  Yeah!  It was an exciting and emotional experience.  We are so excited to be bringing her home to her new family, but yet we are sad to see her leave the only people and place that she has ever known.  The care takers were crying, but very happy for her.  She cried while we were leaving, but after being in the car for a little while she stopped and just enjoyed looking out the window.  Then she fell asleep in my arms and slept the rest of the way.  While we were driving from the orphanage the song "Unforgettable" was playing on the radio.

When we got back to our apartment we fed her some lunch and played a little with her.  She is doing great.  She seems to be okay with us right now.  After lunch we called Gracie.  Gracie is so excited.  She does not understand why we have to stay so long.  Gracie was excited to hear Sophia laugh on the phone.  After the phone call, Sophia began crying.  We did not know what to do, we were trying everything and then we layed her down and she cried herself asleep.  She is sleeping right now.  She looks so sweet.

Tomorrow we will have her medical examine for the US Embassy.  Bless her little heart.  Tomorrow is going to rough for her and us.     

Well, we are going to take a nap too.  We need to sleep at any moment that we can....who knows what tonight will be like?  Talk to ya all later...
