Gotcha Day plus 1 month

Well, 1 month ago today (March 8th) we picked up the girls from the transition house. What a month it has been! We "celebrated" by taking the girls to the UK International Adoption Clinic for their big post adoption evaluation. We arrived at 10am and didn't leave until after 1pm. It was a very long time to be poked and prodded, but the girls were real troopers. They didn't even cry when their blood was drawn or had the TB test (shot) administered. The doctor and occupational therapist were thoroughly impressed with our girls. We are of course waiting to get their bloodwork back to see what kinds of "little friends" they may have, but generally they are very healthy and on track developmentally.

Once we finally made it home this afternoon, we found a box on our front porch. It contained the picture book we created for the girls with the pictures of their birth family and village. Needless to say, they loved it and wanted to look at it over and over again. They also loved the bubble wrap that came in the box and once mommy showed them how to pop the bubbles, it was even more fun.
