Gotcha Day!!
Hi everyone.  Finally, after 30 months of waiting, we got our little Ashli today.  Again, it was another scorcher too, plus the bus's air conditioning was not working on the way to the Consulate.  It was a little different this time getting Ashli, but the results were the same, tears and fears.  You just never know how she is going to react to complete strangers, but she was great.  In Ashli's' referral photos, she looks very timid and calm, always looked kind of frightened, well, that's exactly how she is.  She is adorable.  She let us all hold her, and she would just cuddle up and hold on to you.  When we got back to the hotel, Alicia got to play ball with her and she even cracked a smile or two.  We went down to the hotel restaurant and ate supper, but I don't think we will be doing that again, it was pretty expensive, and there was a lot of raw stuff on the buffet.  Of course Trish and her Mom found some great deals today, I think we are going to have to buy another suit case to haul all of this ssssssssssstuff back in.

Well better go, hope you all enjoy the pictures.
