First Smile!

When Jonna first saw us today, she wasn't exactly happy to see us. She ran to the other side of the room. But by the end of the day, we turned things around and even saw her first smile.

We were able to take her outside on the playground in the afternoon, which she loved. The weather is beautiful -- 60's and sunny.

In the evening, we took Julian bowling with another adoptive family. All in all, a good day!

Those eyes! That smile! She must really love that hoodie. I wonder which favorite cousin got it for her. :-)

She is absolutely adorable! A smile so soon, you must be doing something right! I'm so happy for you. Weeks of anxiety and there you are. Amazing!

Beautiful!! Her features remind me of Haley's, especially her eyes. She is absolutely gorgeous & pink is a great color on her.

She is so beautiful! I check your website every morning for updates, and have been sharing with the Air/Sea team, and remembering when I was in Astana. I am delighted for you! Makes the wait seem non -important, right?
Best wishes, Katy B

You are all so naturally beautiful together. The love is pouring out and Jonna can tell how cared for she is now. I can't wait to see Julian and Jonna together. Thank you for sharing this journey. We can't wait until you are all home.
