Introducing Little Miss Gioia

And now we are three. Gioia is very serious and contemplative. She LOVES to be held. Thank goodness for the Mei Tai. She is absolutely beautiful. Chris and I spent the whole day just staring at her. And she stared back.

The formal adoption process is tomorrow. This is technically an "adjustment period." Adjustment period or no, she is our baby now. Forever and always. Until she becomes a teenager, until she gets a family of her own, until we all pass away. Family.
I am sitting here typing this with a Bobby McFerrin lullaby playing on the laptop. She sleeps close to me in a sleep sack in her pack and play. We are parents now for sure.
Chris has posted pictures and movies, if you have the patience to dig through it all.
Peace to you all tonight.

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful girl! I am sorry my congratulations are so late. I didn't even know you had a referral. I think there must be something wrong with the RSS feed I have in my bloglines.
