Day 4, Gotcha Day! Sydney comes home!
Today is Gotcha Day! We picked up Sydney at the orphange. It was a great place! At least, for what you would think of, of an orphanage. Nice, new building, VERY clean. Nice young caregivers and teachers. We were very impressed! Was not some gloomy, depressing place by any means. Sydney, afraid of any strangers, cried a lot when we showed up. She quickly stopped though, once we got in the van to go back to the hotel. Nick and Iwent out to McDonalds to eat and get "the girls" something. When we returned, Kathi was soothing Sydney because she was crying again. She stopped almost immediately when Nick came in. Thank God for Nicky!! She is deathly afraid of me though! I expected that. The are NO male caregivers at the orphanage so I must look VERY strange and scary to her! (No comments from the peanut gallery please!) Any way, take a look at the pics I took. Some from the front of building, entrance, inside, classes, her class, her crib, her caregiver, etc. Also..below the first link are some movie clips (.MOV files about 4mb each) of sydney and family.

Congratulations! We are so excited for you. Can't wait to meet Sydney! We look forward to the next set of pics but could you leave that big scary guy out he is too distracting (had to do it Charles-you are kind of scary). See you all soon!
Congratulations! Your family looks so wonderful together. What a wonderful Christmas it is. Can't wait to see Sydney in person. Hope rest of the trip will be as wonderful.

Great pictures!I feel better now!
Looks like Sydney took up with
you all right away. Nicky fell into
the "big brother" role right away.
Love, Pop
Thanks for all the photos...I was up before 6am this morning checking to see if you got her. Was so happy to see all the photos (I even watched the movies). She is absolutely precious...looks like you've been together forever. Congrats Big Bro Nicky.
