Introducing Sofie!

After four days of travel, that included a few days sightseeing in NYC, Sofie arrived at around 3:30 this afternoon! It was a whirlwind and seemed to happen so fast, but it was an experience I will NEVER forget. There were some families greeting their students about twenty minutes before Sofie arrived. And of course, I got all teary thinking that was going to be us in a matter of minutes!

Mary Lou arrived to be the official photographer (thank you!) because I couldn't have handled the posters, flags, kids, proper greeting and be expected to take fantastic video and photos too.

We spotted Sofie as she came down the ramp and Kailey noticed her right away. She started yelling, "Sofie, Sofie, Sofie!" And ran up to her and gave her a huge hug and pretty much didn't leave her side until we made her go to bed.

I ask, is there a better way to be greeted into a new family?

It was wonderful and we know it is the beginning of many exciting times to come!
