Today was the day. We finally met our daughter. Yes, this is all very surreal.

Details:
When we walked in, Gracie was right behind her foster mom. Greeting us with smiles.
She went right to Matt! It was pretty amazing. She is a friendly girl!! She sat w/ me in the first five minutes! What a sweetie! She is a babbling, face making, funny, happy girl! Since this is a transition there is a bit of awkwardness but when is a transition not awkward even just a tiny bit? We transition for the next two weeks and end just days before her first birthday!! We still covet your prayers!! Biggest thing is getting the know Gracie. Second is building a friendship with her foster mom.

We might not get to writing or calling you back until things get settled here. I have some massive cleaning to do tomorrow and grocery shopping. I promise, promise to post. Yes, we will be taking more pics tomorrow, so stay tuned!!

And finally, thanks so much! Seriously, we have such great friends! Your emails, phone calls, prayers have been so sweet to us! We love you!
