First pics with Aaron, in which he looks adorable and we look like fat Americans


We picked Aaron up from the orphanage this morning and then made the rounds of government agencies.  So far, so good, thanks to a woman named Chi, who works with Mandala.  When we got to the orphanage, I realized that my camera battery had died.  Chi is going to email me the pics from the G&R.  I took some back at the hotel after recharging for a little while.   We are in love with this boy already!!!

I can't wait for you to get him home so we can stuff his skinny self with fatty American food. He'll be the perfect weight by Thanksgiving.

Congratulations! Niece Fiona says Aaron should not worry because he'll be her first American friend, baby-age.

Dear Lady Doctor & "Family" (YAY!),

Congratulations. I can just see your hands trembling as you reach out to touch him for the first time and hold him in your arms.

Tears of joy from this side of the planet.

You'd better hold on to him tightly, because it sounds like "nxp" is planning on eating him for Thanksgiving (LOL)!

BIG love to all!
