Monday April 16- Gotcha Day!

The first look...

 She had a scared face at first and then the little smiles appeared .




 She loved the little doll that was in her backpack.


 The orphanage did a good job preparing her for what was about to happen. 


 She was able to identify all of us and point to us and then our photo in the scrapbook we had sent.


 First impressions of Ivy...brave, sweet....


 smart...funny.


Oh Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 136:1
