Precious Zemma

For those of you who know my sister, Laura and her husband, Luke- they are in Ethiopia right now adopting their baby girl! They left on Thursday and just had their long-awaited "Gotcha Day." Here is part of an update email that we received this afternoon. (And had been checking for all morning!:)) It makes me cry...and SO VERY EXCITED to meet my little niece!

"Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know about our big day...We picked up Zemma this morning around 10, and I do mean we "picked" her up! Like, we met her and then took her away to our guesthouse! She has done fabulous so far! It took us about 3 hours to get a smile (Luke got the first one), and after that she warmed up really quickly. She has been playing, laughing, reaching for us, and we even got good night kisses a minute ago! She is absolutely beautiful, perfect! Just can't wait for you all to meet her! Tomorrow I will try and send a picture or two."
