She is officially ours!

We spent most of today traveling by bus between government buildings and completing paperwork.  We were interviewed twice and Leah had her photo taken multiple times.  Considering the long day, the babies hung in there until the bitter end.  At the end of the day we recieve a lovely form that let us know she is now officially ours.

PS. I think we may have a smart little girl on our hands.  Leah was playing with her numbered stacking cups.  Dave asked her to "hold up the cup that was divisible by 2".  She got it right, she held up the #4 cup.  We are so proud.

The orphanage director from Leah's home town.  A super nice lady who seemed to truly love the babies and was genuinely concerned about their placement.

Woohoo! Yes, you are certainly parents now, using parent logic to ascertain the intelligence of your child--LOL! I love all the pictures! Leah looks like she's totally taken with you guys too. Are the twins in the group picture? Is there a screamer in the group after all? I hope you know we are all "hanging" on your posts and pix! So excited for you three!

I dearly love the pic of Dave and Leah in her "pouch". She appears to be very comfortable in her daddy's arms! :-) and I can tell Daddy is LOVING every minute! You look pretty comfortable too Mom!!! :-) Can't wait to see more pics and hear more of your adventures!
