What a wild ride this has been. As you can see above Ashley has taken to Daddy as well now. The gotya day was crazy with all of the babies crying and when they would stop one would start again and the rest would say "oh yeah we are suppose to be crying" and they would all start again. When we left the office we got caught in a traffic jam for what seemed like hours, and the babies had no idea what to do or what was going on.
Everyone seemed to have an okay night last night. Some slept better than others and some woke up a time or two but nothing that was not normal for a baby. We were awakened twice by Ashley, once at 1am to feed and then again around 3:30am. All in all a good night.
Today we went to have a family picture taken for the files here and then to two interviews. During this process we were told that the babies were now legeally ours and the document we just signed made it official. Whoo Who !!!
We did some shopping today for items we needed for the babies and our selves and then ate McDonalds in the open area in front of the store. The more we look around the more we are thankful for all of the blessings that God gives us back home. We see people living in less than desireable conditions and today's lunch topped it all. There were a group of children staying near by and we thought it was just the normal people looking at the group of Americans, but we were wrong. These children were about 8 to 12 years old and when I took our unfinished cokes and a few fries to the trash and walked away several ran to the trash and grabbed the food to eat. So the rest of the group left the leftovers on the tables when we left so the children could have the food.
Please keep one of our families in your prayers as they are at the hospital right now having some test done on their child to make sure everything is alright. The group has gotten together a couple of times now and had a group prayer for them and their child. We place this in the Lord's hands to care for her.
So Blessed that we don't know how to handle it!!!

Ashley you are so adorable! It looks like you are getting to know your Mommy and Daddy just fine. You must have been so scared yesterday but I'm sure you are finding out that everything is okay and soon you will see all of the people waiting here who want to get to know you! We love you!
