There aren't words, but I'm gonna try...

We have our girl. As I type, my eyes are welling up with tears because it's finally hitting me what a huge moment this is. And it isn't just me, it isn't just Edward, it's all of us. We're a family. God has never given a greater gift than family. And He has blessed us with the most precious addition on this planet.

It was heartbreaking to take Gabi from her beloved foster family. But we promised that we will have dinner before we take her home for good. That seemed to ease the pain a bit. We are so incredibly grateful to what they've done for our daughter this past year. She is happy, healthy, silly, loving and precious because of them.

It took her all of 20 minutes to completely come around and start grinning, giggling and playing with us. She was thrilled to see her duck return (from her cousin Rita) and that made her transition easier. Gabi is probably the most joyful baby I've ever been around. We are so looking forward to bringing her home to share her with you all.

Gabi has 4 teeth now-- 2 on top, 2 on bottom. She is talking up a storm and is as playful as she was when Mom and I were here last month. She's so much fun and we've only been here an hour.

I promise to keep blogging while I'm here and maybe forever. But Gabi had something to interject. Gabriella's message to the masses is:

I hope you enjoyed that.
