A Sick Alina

We are absolutely thrilled to finally have Alina in our arms! Hopefully you can view the slide show...sorry for the few pictures but the computer here is so slow and expensive to use. We went to the civil affairs office Monday afternoon where they handed her to us the for the first time...with a 102 degree fever! Needless to say our first 24 hours together have been a little strained with Alina feeling miserable, dazed and confused. She also has the mother of all bug bites on her head...I guess where she is from the kids get pretty eaten up. So, most of the pictures she looks pathetically sad and has been sleeping a lot. Chris thinks he might have eeked out a smile just a minute ago... that would be a first! The rest of the week will be a few more appointments and some shopping!
