GOTCHA DAY!! December 5, 2011


Today was the day.  The whole reason we came halfway around the world.  Known in the adoption world as "Gotcha Day," today we got Josie.  She's been ours for about five hours so far.  My brain is still trying to sort everything out so today I will just leave you with these pictures...
