GOTCHA! And then there were 4....

We gota Lizzie!!!!  And she is something else!  What a wonderful day at SLC.  I'll give summary now and add details once I get both kiddo's down to zztown.
It was an amazing day.  Sophie was super excited, a little too excited on the train we had to bring it down a few notches...and I was quiet ready to throw up with nerves. I know Chris was nervous as he was chewing his fingernails and clearing his throat like 1000x  :)  Everything went well on the train ride down, we got the cab to SLC and the cab got lost (which is typical, it's tough to find SLC) and once there, Jessica met us and took us into the meeting room, asked for our outfits and we waited anxiously for our first glimpse of Lizzie.  We were told she was sleeping so we could get some details about her.

So without further addo.....Meet Lizzie!
Lizzie!!!  Our first sighting!
 This will probably be the reality of the family photo for a few months   :)  Someone loves their big sister, won't take her eyes off of her  :)
 Such a happy little girl!
 Our girls  :)  Big sis, lil sis!
 She is so cute!!!   They call her Miss Hong Kong!!!  Her given name is the same as "Miss HOng Kong" and when they call her by this name she just laughs and laughs...
 Here is some of the St Lucy's nanny's and volunteers!
 I LOVE LOVE LOVE my big sister!!!!!!  and the bear she made me.
 Jessica @ SLC with Sophie!

 She slept most of the time but woke up for some grub.
 We sat her on the hotel bed and she was like "It's so soft and cuddly!  I'm free I'm free!"  she just took off!

  10. So excited for you Tiffany. Lizzie looks great and Sophie looks like a natural! Everything looks the same at SLC. Reminded me so much of Samantha's big day. Even though Sierra was nine, not five like Sophie, I think the big sister worship will last. Samantha adored Sierra from the first moment, and still does! Not that there isn't conflict! Congrats and good luck with the rest of your trip. Love to you all!! Lori
