YAY!



We took these pics yesterday in preparation of sharing our big news!! But, when the time came and I looked over at my smiling, half naked, bedheaded wild child, I just new that she had to tell you herself!!! We are PINK! Luciana is coming home forever!

You know what, I am just shaking, I haven't even read the whole docuement yet. But, I can tell you that our embassy appointment is on March 5th, our Visa pick up is on the 6th, and we will probably come home on the 7th!!!! The homecoming date may change depending on flights ($$).

Oh my gosh, you guys, this is just the most amazing feeling. Keith and I cried, Sam and I hugged like crazy, Mom and I screamed and cried and hugged.

I need to cover my baby girl in kisses!

Happy, happy day.

Thanks everyone.... you know your love and support has carried us this far, and now we can start the celebrating!! I want to hear corks pop all the away from Maine!

Much love!!!!!!

The day has finally come ! Congratulations Orlando family, all 4 of you ! Enjoy your quiet time (okay maybe not so quiet) in the sun. Can't wait to see all the pictures when Daddy gets there.

OH, Beth!! She is finally coming home. I am crying, crying, crying. Cassie is jumping with joy!!!! What a time it has been. I have been so happy to share so much with you---and now the really good stuff.

Baby Lucy, you are coming home to so many who love you---and haven't even met you yet.

Something pulled me here this am. I had already checked, but decided to check again!!

Oh my GOD! (Remember our conversation about saying that!) I read it screaming to Ali out in the kitchen. She was covered in raw meat but had to run in to see for herself. I can't believe we finally have a date. So, is March 5 going to be her 2nd birthday? This is such incredible news and I can only imagine the jubilee that you are feeling. Oh my friend, I'm so excited for you! XXX Tamar

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Getting PINK has got to be one of the most exciting days EVER, other than getting on a plane and finally bringing your baby home. What a wonderful day indeed.

Enjoy the rest of your time in Antigua. It is going to FLY by from here.

I'm so happy for your family! :)
