Gotcha Elsa! And some interesting news....

We got Elsa today!!!    

And we also learned some interesting things about Elsa.

Three very nice folks from the orphanage including the director brought her to the hotel lobby.

First here is a picture:

So what did we learn that was interesting?

1.  Elsa can see!
They said that around her first birthday she started acting like she can see.  They said her vision also seems like it is improving as she is getting older.   
She has a type of cataract on her eyes, but if this can be removed, perhaps she can see more.    
For now, she brings items very close to her face...but wow, that was a blessing to find out.

2.   The orphanage director said that she is the most easy-going baby they have ever had.   He said she eats anything, plays with anything, just an easy baby.

3.  They said she is very smart.   She will go find a chair, put it against the door, turn the knob and run outside to play.   She is very curious and is constantly learning...it is fun to watch her.  She is self-entertaining and just on the go!

Tomorrow we are going to have a busy day getting adoption paperwork done.

Would you please pray that we can sleep -Iana woke up at 1 a.m. this morning, so we are all quite tired.

And also please pray for Iana and Elsa's relationship...there is a lot of changes going on.

So, I can't find my camera USB cord and so I'm using this picture from Ken's phone.   As soon as I find my cord I'll post more pictures!
