Our Happiest Thanksgiving!
Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank thee for this place in which we dwell, for the love that unites us, for the peace accorded to us this day, for the health, for the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful, for our friends in all parts of the earth... From "Prayer" by Robert Louis Stevenson

Personalized Jungle Nursery!
Papa Bill and Daddy Rico got busy creating personalized wall art for our little angel. You can see the name sign that is held up by "birds" above Nadia's crib, and the grouping of colorful animals that are above her changing table (click to zoom the images). Fun!

A Visit from a Special Great Aunt
Aunt Sally came over for a visit to meet our little princess this past weekend. Papa Bill and Daddy Rico were delighted to have her visit and she enjoyed holding and getting to know Baby Nadia. We were glad to share our joy with this special Aunt!

Bath Time
Papa Bill and Daddy Rico just love taking care of their princess Nadia at home (instead of the hospital). Daddy Rico gave Nadia a bath today and she is content as a little lamb...

Baby Nadia Comes Home!
On Friday, November 4th, Baby Nadia was discharged from the hospital and placed in our care by the attorney. We are so glad to finally bring her home after having her in the hospital for 17 day!

Baby Nadia is Ours!
Today, our waiting period ended and we confirmed that our legal process is proceeding. We are sooooo excited that Little Nadia is ours. We hope she will be coming home from the hospital soon.
