The fat lady.....She has sung!

It's official, she is ours!  We signed all the papers today.  Of course you really don't know what your signing so we may have just signed our three boys up for the Chinese army :)  They also interview you and ask questions like "Was she as described?"  Yes.  "Do you want to continue with the adoption?"  Go ahead, try and pry her out of my arms!  Of course I didn't say that but that's what I was thinking!  We didn't do the best job with the gifts we presented to the people doing the work, but they were okay.  We however were not only given a daughter, but also a beautiful scroll with a poem written in Chinese by their most famous poet Lee Bai (sp?).  In hindsight though, can any gift we give to them compare to the gift of our daughter?  So our family is complete now as we see it.  Three phenomenal sons, and one fantastic daughter.

We have all just awoke from naps, Jo has redone Ally's hair and we are going to go shopping along the main drag here.  It's pretty cold so I don't know how long we will last but we are going to give it a go.  That's all I have at the moment, but am sure it wont be long before I need to share another picture with the world.
