Our first meeting with Anna

Mom and I got to meet Anna this morning. Frankly, I'm not going to post many of the photos because our foster mom is in them. I didn't ask her if I could put them on the internet and so I won't.

I will post a couple with just Anna and I!

She is perfect. We are so amazingly blessed that this is our daughter. She's a happy, pleasant, curious baby. She was very comfortable with me quite quickly. We learned that her foster parents are active in their church and so she is around a lot of people. She is used to making friends fast. She also has attended many gospel choir practices and does "hallelujah" hands. :)

She's also beautiful. You can see that for yourself so I won't go on and on (I could though... That's how completely in love I am!)

Mom and I love Anna's foster mother. She is a spectacular person! She was very sad that we asked to have Anna Tuesday night. I think it's best for Anna to get used to us before the flight but I feel sad for her foster mom.

And here's what you came for... Some photos!








This cute little fish face was made just before giving kisses. Yup. I got KISSES! How about that!

  1. What an amazing first visit! It's wonderful to hear that she is comfortable around new people....that will serve you all well.

    The Hallelujah hands has me cracking up. Someday, when you are home, promise to post video of that.

    These pictures of you and Anna playing together are adorable and priceless. It's amazing to see the smiles on BOTH your faces.

    And finally, your girl can rock red like no other. I love the pants. Ahem, prep for the Rose Bowl, perhaps?
