We met her!

We had such a long day and are so exhausted, so I will have to post all about our day tomorrow, but I will leave you with some photos.  The videos wouldn't upload, so I'll try facebook.  She is bigger than we expected, she is really smart and speaks very well. She is playful and loving and very active.  She is the orphanage favorite, the oldest, the leader, the star.  She is not "calm" like her profile said, but who needs a calm child? I don't have one yet!  We love her and are so happy God brought us here to bring her into our family.
