All of the above are from the first day we met Alia.
This was a common sight during the first week or so. Our last few days, she wasn't interested in naps anymore.
And, of course, there is reading - this is one of my favorite photos. Now you can see why Serena would be a good name for her as well.
Snuggling with Dad - another favorite activity
Laugh caught on camera! A miracle!
One of our family pictures for court - how could the judge say no?
He said yes! Last photo in the hospital - paka!
First (and last for a while) bath - not a happy baby!
I bought this outfit when we submitted our dossier. It is perfect for our little Alia . . . except she will probably grow out if it before she gets home!
Hanging around the cottage
Out for a walk
Paka. Next stop - HOME!

We spent the afternoon with Alysa and Brady and we were talking about how we wished we could meet up with Scott and his mom, too, but we leave Tuesday at 3:20 am and Alysa is gone the next week.
They will like almaty-it's a big city, lots to see and do. I like it, but my heart is in Kostanai, of course, the home of my baby girl.

She is so beautiful! I love the photo of you reading to her, too. The photo of her laughing is just so precious. Congratulations! What a beautiful family, plus one to add to that photo soon.
The photo of Alia snuggling into Scott is so incredibly sweet. First I thought the one of her sitting in Angela's lap with the book was my favorite, but the story of her clinging to Scott will always stick in my mind. And Scott, I hope she does stay a strong and OUTSPOKEN girl! Hooray!
Oh she's gorgeous! Congrats on the waiting period being over. Safe travels to Almaty!
She is absolutely gorgeous!!! Congratulations.
OHHH! she is a beauty. Congratulations Angela and family.
