OH MY. . . we have a daddy's girl!

I love him so much I will eat him! Aaron's hair was literally wet. Every time he put her on his shoulders she would squeal with laughter than give really mushy kisses.

Of course some great pool time today. The sun is spectacular but Lucia is even more so. . .

Another thing I have in common with my daddy is that I love to watch soccer on TV. My dad is in heaven since you can find it on every other channel.
I laugh and laugh when he zooms me in the air.
If you have every been around Aaron or Adam this is their signature baby hold. . . .the beat box noises with the constant jiggle dancing:)
OUR DAUGHTER!

Oh boy. . . someone adores her Daddy already! She wants mommy to feed the bottle and put her to sleep as long as she can be gazing across the room at DADDY! She immediatley smiles everytime she sees him. They have simular personalities - silly, active, and so charming and they both love to sing, dance and hop around. He can make her laugh like I've never heard. She thinks everything he does is hysterical. Then I will try the same thing and she just stares at me. It warms my heart. She literally squeals with him!

We had a great morning . . . IT IS FINAL. . . she is our daughter forever. The hand off with the foster family was very emotional . The only one not crying was Lucia, even the translater was crying. We met for the first time the foster Dad, infact we didn't know there was one. When they were leaving the foster mom left crying, and the father walked out behind her, strong and composed, then came back into the room and kissed Lucia and just broke down sobbing. Now all the pieces fall into place. . . . we are so thankful there has been a loving male in the home. Her foster mom answered a questionnaire I left for her last trip. I asked about her first Christmas, favorite memories, nicknames, relationships, routines, personalitiy, and general care questions. I simply wanted a window into Lucy's life so we can stay consistant and so someday we can tell her all about her first family who loved her so much. On the questionarre I asked what Lucia's favorite activities were and she answered listening to music and looking at her foster papa smiling! Her Foster mom also brought back all of Lucia's favorite toys and blankets to help her transition. She has been the most amazing answer to prayer, always going above and beyond.

Will post more later. Thanks to everyone for making this dream come true for our family.
