Here she is!!

(Click the image for more pictures / slideshow)

I am so sorry that we are just now posting. Babies keep you really busy!! Things are going wonderfully here with Caroline. She has had a very smooth transition so far and we have had her laughing and smiling a lot. She is actually quite a little "ham"!

We think she is absolutely beautiful and and we are so thankful to the foster family that has taken care of her for us over the past year. You can tell she has been very well cared for and loved!!

Tomorrow will be a little less busy as we have completed all of the paperwork and appointments until Friday. I will try to update you with more detail tomorrow.

Please enjoy the pictures of the love of our life!!

Hey guys,

I am crying! The memories of our Gotcha day almost 4 months ago are so vivid. I know how happy you must be and how your heart is full to overflowing and that you are staring at her as she sleeps saying to each other, can you believe she is right here and she is ours??? Am I right? I am so happy for you. She is beautiful and I am so glad things are going smoothly for you all.

Sal,
I've been attempting to comment all day but somehow couldn't figure anything out. I am beyond words when I look at all of your pictures. She could not be more beautiful and happy. God is so good. I'm so blessed to be a part of something so great. I can't wait for her to meet her two brothers. I've actually taken a little peak at the doggie spa webcam. I'm so high tech. My mom sends her love and we are all praying for you and celebrating with you every step of the way. I love you all the way to china and heaven and back.
Love katie and family

What a thrill to finally see you both with your precious Caroline!
She is truly adorable and is a very blessed little girl to have you as her parents. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey with all of us.
I can't wait for you to see her Memphis nursery. Your MOM has really outdone herself!
Enjoy the rest of your trip and I'll be praying for your safe arrival home.

OMG She is precious!!! She reminds me so much of Cassie, it is so hard to believe it has been more than a year since we were in China getting Cassie and that she was that little! Your photos just bring it all back.
Cassie is very anxious for her bud to visit- she was playing with the phone the other night and Brea and I asked who she was calling and she said Aunt Sally... she told us she wants you to bring Caroline home to play- we thought about trying to get her to leave you that as a VM but figured as with any normal 2 yr old she would not perform as we hoped. We love you and can not wait to see you on the 22nd... Sean is hoping to be able to meet your flight for extra photos.
Ang, Sean and Cassie
