We met an angel today.

Wanda, here is the picture. lol

We made it to Kostanai after two days of traveling with little to no sleep but today we met an angel whom we will name, Sophia Ivy Ceravola. She will be one year old in late July. We'll get the exact date tomorrow. We will be visiting her everyday but our "official 14 day bonding period will start one day next week. It looks like we're here for the long haul. We have so much to say but we're just so wore out we just wanted to let everyone know that we're okay and so far so good. Oh yeah, here's some photos too. We know you all have been waiting for these. Can you believe she has curly blonde hair and blue eyes? We are so in love already.

Thank you so much for sending these pictures, I have literally had your blog music play list playing non stop in my office today just waiting for this first glimpse. It was so worth it she's amazing! But if you guys have a couple of spare minutes in the next day or so could you please add some new songs, I've grown sick of the ones I've been listening to......JOKIN' YA!!!
Can I get a collective sigh of relief from eveyone???? Love you ALL 3! Marty and Co.

awww what a pretty name for a pretty lil girl. :)

Another blond haired blue eyed angel. :) don't let the gentile looks fool you though...our blue eyed girl is FIESTY and I am sure Sophia will be too.

Now you see why you had to wait...your angel was there-just not ready yet. :)
CONGRATULATIONS. It looks like the same room Leeza was in. If Asiil and Almagoul and Aigul are still there, please tell them Leeza is doing amazing. :)

so happy for you guys!! I remember the feeling all too well...and honeslty, we've been home with her 7+ months and it still hasn't gone away. :)

CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS.

I am so happy for you that you met your daughter! She is adorable! Isn't it funny what surprises life brings? A blonde hair blue eyed beauty. Can't wait to hear more, but I know how exhausted you must be. It takes a good week to get out of the jet lag fog, so hang in there and get your rest.

She is such a cutie pie!!! I'm so glad you are there safe and sound. I have been thinking of you two a lot. I'm sure the emotions are running really high still, but wasn't it all worth it? Hope you get some much needed rest (you are both glowing in the pictures-I'd never know you had little to no sleep) Enjoy your family bonding time!
