We now have two girls!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a sad little girl, and a sister that wants to make everything O.K. I don't want to be on the computer very long because we just got Addison a couple of hours ago but, I knew everyone would be looking for pictures this morning when they got up. When they brought Addison to us she just stood and looked at us for a while and I thought everything was going to be O.K. and then the tears started to flow. It was so sad my heart was breaking for her. She had to be so scared and all of the orphanage people were telling her what to do and all she wanted to do was just go back with them. When we got back to the hotel she played a little bit with her dolls and then started to sob again. We just didn't know what to do for her but I remembered that I had brought some play-doh and that has been the ticket. She even has smiled a couple of times. Her and Ali are the same size. You would never know that there were 3 years between them. We are going to go to supper and introduce Addison to some French Fries. I will post more later. She is a scared little girl and she needs all of our attention.

I have been sitting here crying. They are both so beautiful. We will be praying for a smooth transition.

Thanks so much for posting pictures so quickly. This was the first thing I checked when I got to work this morning. I know it's going to be a little difficult at first but Addison is going to absolutely love you guys. How could she not??? :)
Enjoy the french fries.
Thinking of you!!!!

I checked the first thing when I got to work and as soon it popped up the tears where flowing. She looks so scared, but I am sure by the end of the week she will have a smile on her face. Tell Ali to hug her sister for me.
