Gotcha Day and Civil Affairs

Wow! What a special day! Jace is amazing! He already knows signs. He can mouth "mama" and "papa". He can sign 'girl' and 'boy'. He gives me a thumbs up a lot. And Alex--loves her too! All the girls here play with Jace. He is a very happy boy-he laughs a lot! He loves his toys. Especially the light up toys.


We went to the Civil Affairs office this afternoon after lunch. He is now ours! YAY!! We came back to the hotel to grab a nap and now we are getting ready to meet for dinner. I tried to put Jace in the crib here. No go. That was the first time I heard him cry. He ended up sleeping between ALex and me which we loved! I woke up to his little hand on my neck. So sweet. Alex and I are completely in love.

He is Precious!!!!! HE IS OURS!!!! Thank you, GOD!!! He imitates EVERY sign...He smiles all the time!!!! He tried to say mama and papa....Oh, I can't believe it!!!!!! i am trying desparelty to download pics and video!!!!!

We are off to breakfast this morning to meet our travel families. I can't believe in a few hours I will have 4 children! I have Jace's bag of toys ready to go. I feel at peace and I know it's from the prayers! Thank you all so much! I can't get blogspot yet (working on another way)so I can't read any comments. If you want to email me directly, please do! spierro@comcast.net


We slept well last night. Feeling refreshed this morning--yet dizzy with anticipation! Leaving you with this picture I took this morning. There are people sleeping outside on rooftops!
