Gotcha Day and Night!!

Well, have no idea where to start.

What a sweet girl Kira is! She is soooo ready to just hit the town and go. She was waiting for us when we got to the civil affairs office and has not looked back.

She had treats in her bag for the little girls and immediately wanted them to sit with her and hold her hands. Her smile is amazing is she is doing so well with her new mama who has no clue what she is saying.

Morgan!! You have a hair and nail buddy now. She is all about the polish and braids (:

Am still trying to process all of this, you might think that after 4 trips I'd have this. But it always amazes me how different each child is created, and how wonderful each personality is.

I CAN NOT wait to get my hands on Hudson, he looks so sweet! Seems he has a few of the classic physical markers of a thal kid. Sophia didn't, but she was much younger when we started regular transfusions. So we are so ready to get him home and on some good Go Juice!

SO, so far things are going amazingly well. So please feel free to pass this onto any one considering an older child.

When they say they are ready to have a family, they are!

I am also so amazed by how well Kira has compensated for her hands and leg. She has found a way to scrunch her long leg down and walks pretty well. It is amazing how tall she is when she stands on the longer one. No tiny Asian girl here!

Looks like we have a few things to get worked on, but she seems so healthy and smart. She has already mastered the camera and the paint program.

There are so many little details, but I have 4 hungry girls looking at me, and we have to go and do more paper work at 8 am. So we are off to eat and start our new day!

Miss you all, and hope all is well.

Love,

Claire, Livy, Kira, Mia and Sophia (does that not just rock!)
