Journey Day 6 - Sophia day 1

Sophia's first night she slept all night long, once she woke up that was a completely different story she cried for most of the morning. We had breakfast in the Western restaurant then mommy and daddy and Sophia went to the adoption ceremony and Ali, Matt and Maggie stayed at the hotel. After the adoption ceremony we went back to the hotel and stayed in for the rest of the night.

this is what it is all about.

Elise and I are here in my office pouring over the new photos....she noticed (gleefully!) that she and Miss Sophi are wearing the same red Inspi(red) shirt today!!!! What a coincidence!!!

What wonderful photos....we're so happy for you all...and can see Sophi bonding with you all already!

Can't wait to hear all your stories in person....in Hilton Head perhaps?!?!

Love you all......

So cool getting to see pics of you all with Sophi. Love, love, love the pic of Michael and Sophi, heads together. Precious!! Missing you guys so much. Can't wait to see you and hold our Mei Mei. I've been praying every day for you all and for Sophi. I know in my heart that she will adjust quickly to her new family. From the pics you can tell that she's meant to be with you all. All my love to you all! Hugs, GiGi :)
