We promise to get you more later, but wanted to get a quick post out ...
How could we possibly describe this day? We met our Anna and she is even better than our dreams. Things happened very quickly (more details later), but couldn't have gone more perfect. She didn't cry, she didn't even fuss or wimper ... she smiled.
Enough talk ... here are a couple of pics from the first time holding our beautiful baby girl ...

Can't believe it - could not be
more perfect - that smile - she still looks just like her first
pictures. At a loss for words.
Thank God for our blessings.
Love to all three of you. Have
a good afternoon and night. Don't
squeeze her too hard!

I thought I would check your blog one more time before I go to bed. What a wonderful sight. She is so cute. I love her smile. Even better than I imagined. You look to happy. What a wonderful gift from God. I love the chubby little cheeks. Give her a hug for me. Love, Nana
Again, so incredibly happy for you two! Anna is a doll!
I decided I wouldn't go to bed until I saw THE post. (Boy am I glad you didn't wait to post until later.) She. is. BEAUTIFUL! I didn't know what kind of picture I'd see when the time came, but this one surpassed my wildest dreams. A sweet little round faced angel with a beautiful smile. Happy to be with you and you with her. I love it. I am so happy for you all. She looks so healthy and happy. I'm so happy your moment of becoming a family was this wonderful!
I love you all. PLEASE give Anna a big kiss from all of us!

And, seriously, I laughed out loud with the "kind of a big deal" comment...

SOOOOO SWEET!!!! I sat up last night and kept refreshing your site. At 1am, I saw those sweet baby cheeks and that beautiful smile!! She is beautiful, so excited for you both and your families. I said a prayer last night that her transition into your family is a smooth one. Can't wait to see the next pics. Seems like all is going well so far. Safe travels on your way home to your new life as a family of three!!!!!! Love Andy, Donna, and kyndal.
