Gotcha day!

What a very overwhelming but joyful day. We met aynsli this morning at 9:30. And she was an angel! She whimpered for a few seconds and then has been pretty happy the rest of the day.  

We had to go to a police station to get her picture taken for her visa and she didn't make a peep.  We were in and out in 5 min. 

When we got back to the hotel she let us give her a bath(I've been told this is a hard step for some children to take), and change her clothes no problem! Then she played with us and aiden for a while before taking a bottle and then sleeping.  I rocked her for a few min then put her down- she talked to herself and fell asleep! I know we have a long road ahead of us but God has blessed us with a beautiful daughter and a joyful first day! 

I am most impressed by aiden today. He has shown such love and excitement for aynsli.  He has stepped up as the big brother and just thinks the world of her. It is so neat to watch!
