This is the day.

February 28: This is where we started our day today.




This is where we went next. To see OUR DAUGHTER!









It's official, or at least as official as anything around here appears to get. We passed court and we are now a family of 7!




Sophie with her nannie, leaving mommy until embassy. Praying that it will not be the 12 weeks that is currently the chatter. Please no!




Now that it is official we would like to introduce you to our daughter...

Sophie Joy Tufa Addink

Day 1: One tear when meeting us for the first time.




Day 2: So many more smiles.




This face has been dubbed " the stink face". Love it!




Right where she should be.




Psalm 126:3. The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
