Gotcha Day!

We are so happy to report that Sophia is at home with us sleeping in her crib. Today at 3:40pm her flight landed in Washington DC (Dulles). Around 4:40 the escort, Oleg walked out with America's newest citizen, our precious daughter Sophia. She looked very scared and when she was handed over to us she cried. We think it was just to much for her with all the activity at the airport. Once we got her in the car she was laughing and smiling like the good old days in Kazakhstan. About an hour into our two our drive home she fell asleep. When we got home there was some wonderful balloons on the house and a big Welcome home Sophia sign. A big thank you goes out to the Coleman's for that.

Once we got inside we showed her around the house Sophia got a bath. We wanted a clean baby for a change and figured she would sleep better cleaned up. She hated the bath so we made it a quick one. We then give her some apple sauce which she liked. She even got to wear the Saints bib that Daddy got her in New Orleans. GO SAINTS! At this point she was falling asleep again so we put her in her crib. So far it's all good. We're sure the next few days we all will be making some adjustments but think it will go real good.

We will get some better pictures of her in the next few days and share them with all. For now enjoy some of the ones we got today. As you can see her hair got much longer and she gained some weight too. Her 18 month old pajamas are pretty tight and she is only 14 months old as of yesterday.
