WHAT AN ANGEL!!!

Okay everyone, we are here and in love with our little girl and enjoying her immensely.

Don't have much time here at the internet cafe, so I will try to get down what I can. I forgot (yes, I know) my flash drive so I have to buy some so we can update pictures and stuff to put on here next time we post.

But for now, here is some news. We have a court date to have everything completed, a little further down the line than we thought. But we expected it to happen. May 29th should be it, and then a final wait for her Canadian papers and home we come.

We are in a wonderful home, with two wonderful people who love us as family. The house is completely accessible, and they put us up in their own bedroom with a bathroom attached with no doors, and a shower and everything we can get to. So all is good. We are surrounded by palm tress and banana trees and mango trees and coconut trees. I am going to learn to climb one all the way to the top!

Now Asha... what an angel. She was asleep when we got in because our plane was delayed, but we poked her until she woke up. She looked like a doll and she is so small. Not anywhere as big as she looks in the pictures everyone has seen so far. She is tiny and dainty and so sweet.

Once her eyes were open she sat and stared at us and cuddled her mom in her arms for about 30 minutes. It was absolutely perfect. More than anything we could have asked for.

Then she fully woke and ran around playing and giggling and climbing all over us and calling Dadda and Mamma and Asha and Bad and "Bonx", which she holds her fist out so you can bash fists with her. Too cute.

We went to the beach and she had never been. The waves scared her a bit, and she clung to her Momma for dear life as she watched the waves come in and pulled sand off her Dadda's feet.

Asha has two bottom teeth and she smiles ALL the time. She can be a bit moody but it's okay.

Last night, for about an hour, Asha sat in bed with us and cuddled and we gave her back tickles, which she loves, and we just had some wonderful time with us. Whenever we leave the room she immediately crawls to our bedroom to see what we are doing.

This is the greatest time of our lives, and we will be here for a couple of months. We will post pictures soon and show you how close and wonderful and comfortable we are with each other in our little family of three.

Please continue to pray for everything to go as fast as possible and we have all we need to bless this family we are staying with. Thank you all for your prayers, generosity and wonderful friendships. I will update soon.

Love Scott (and Desiree and Asha)
