...And the Stork has arrived....

Our First Family Photo

So, no need to hire Chris as your photographer when he is trying to hold a WELCOME TO AMERICA sign, and take a photo, he'll miss the star of the photo! He got me, and Bela's bags... you can't even see an arm or a hand. :) haha.


We went to Olive Garden for lunch.


Then we went to University Park Mall to get Isabela a cell phone.


Chris and Bela took naps when we got home, I went to the Grocery. Later, Isabela gave us gifts! It was like Christmas in August! There was so much stuff. Chris thought the flag on his sandals was awesome!


I got two pairs! They are so incredibly pretty!.. and they fit perfect. They are Havaiana's - Very nice and made in Brazil!


She even brought an Eco-Friendly shopping bag... which is perfect, I have three and this makes four! With one more mouth to feed, one more bag will be needed!


Here is Isabela explaining the book of Rio that she brought for us to learn with.


Chris' favorite thing in the whole wide world.. a hat! He loves hats.


We also got this Great picture for the house! It is so Pretty. We will soon find the perfect spot for it.


Many thanks to Maria (Bela's mom) for the jewelry! It is so pretty. There is a set of earrings and a necklace made of purple Brazilian stones. They went great with the white shirt I was wearing.


There are a few more gifts that are so great, I am going to get pictures of them while I am using them! I guess you will just have to wait and see....

Isabela talked to Thom, Rachel and Ashley on the phone today. The girls are very excited to meet her. I got to talk to her brother today as well.... He had very delayed trip back to Ohio, but he made it. Thanks for the b-day wishes. We will be meeting at some point during Isabela's stay. We have not set a date yet, but we are going to see him play soccer some time.
