Gotcha Day!





Today has been great.  Noah was in the 3rd group of children to arrive at the Civil Affairs office.  He seemed to recognize us and came bearing snacks and his own backpack.  I don't think he has stopped eating or drinking since the moment we got him aside from a 4 hour nap we all just took.  He hasn't cried but instead smiled all day long.  Its clear he was well-loved and cared for.  His nannies were so helpful with the transition and he is indeed potty-trained (uses a squattie potty and traditional toilet).

We have lots of pictures to share but want to FaceTime with Ella and Beckett and then eat dinner.  (finally uploaded more pictures)
