We Got Nora!!!!

We're back at the hotel and doing amazing.  Nora is still pretty shellshocked, but she's calm, eating, playing with toys and looking at books.  She's just hanging out on Jen's lap and she seems to be thinking that she's getting food and a nice lady is holding her, so things aren't all bad.

the government agency where we signed the guardianship agreement and the aiyi brought her to us. 


right after handoff.


she's got a banana and her aiyi is hanging out, so life is good.


aiyi and Jen, to document the moment.


playing at the hotel with mom.


she seems to enjoy snuggling with Jen.

  8. So, so awesome!! Thanks for sharing all of this with us and letting us experience it along with you. Such wonderful photos, too! Keep enjoying each moment as best as you can (even the ones involving crying, messy diapers, and the like, since hopefully they will be balanced out by the snuggling and playing!!)
