Pictures from Ethiopia

Wow, what an amazing, tiring, exciting, nerve-wracking, emotional and wonderful trip to meet our little girl! We are back in the U.S. But still not home yet..... Only a few more hours. We are still processing our trip through a haze of sleep deprivation and exhaustion, but wanted to post some pictures of our trip while we wait for the last plane ride of this trip to board. Hattie is so precious and has the sweetest little personality. She is definitely attached to her nannies, one in particular and they love her. In fact, I think we made them very nervous when we put her on the merry-go-round at the transition home. Two different nannies came over at different times to readjust the make-shift seatbelt and make sure she did not fall out. We are so thankful that God has blessed our family with her and are so excited to be waiting for the final step in the adoption process.....the embassy interview and visa approval. We are told to expect this part to take about two months, then we can bring her home! Here are pictures from the first day meeting her....
