Introducing Ziva!

Here's our girl! I know, there are a lot of photos, but it has been a while in coming so I figured I'd make it worth our while!

I love the pictures. Ziva is a real cutie. She looks alot bigger than I thought she would. According to what you said, she is small for her age, but she still looks healthy. I am so happy that things are progressing nicely. I can see why you are excited to get home-then you can really start to be parents in your own environment. Anyways, love hearing everything about Ziva and how you spend your time with her. Thinking about you.

What a sweetheart. She looks good and you guys look like proud parents. So happy for you that you have the internet in your apartment and that you got a "speedy" court date. You will be outta there soon, hang on a bit longer. We are truly happy for you and can't wait to meet Ziva. Take care and see you soon.

She is so sweet, you look so proud. I bet you just can't wait to get her home. It is nice for her that it is a slow transition though. It must be confusing for a little one. Well hang in there it will all be over soon. Ally wants to know when you are coming back to school, she really misses you. Funny eh, she figures you got the baby now, (from the pictures) so you must be coming back. We try to explain but she has her own ideas.

DEar Mrs. Calder,
You are the best teacher and I am happy you have a wonderful little girl, Ziva. I just saw her pictures and she is so cute. I want to see Ziva. I miss you and please come to school to visit when you get back. My Mom and Dad say that God is so faithful in putting familiies together. Love, Rebecca

What a gorgeous little girl!!! She looks very happy in the pictures you guys took. We are very anxious to meet her. We have been telling Landon about his new cousin Ziva. It is funny though because he keeps arguing with us that it's not "Ziva" it's "ZEBRA", lol. We keep you in our prayers constantly, and ask for your safe return very soon! I'm sure you are more than ready to go home. Just remember that this transition will end soon and it will be an amazing story to tell Ziva as she grows up.....she'll have more love than she'll know what to do with!
I know it takes time to post pictures and give us updates, so we want to tell you how much we enjoy reading the blog and looking at those pics!!
Take care

Ziva is so sweet, she looks so happy and comfortable with you both. I pray that all three of you have a successful court date on Friday and that you bring Ziva home shortly after that. I have been telling all my friends of my newest niece, that's how excited I am to have her in the family. Love you both, I'm so proud of how patient you have been through this whole process, yes, even when things didn't seem to be going right. It shows what great parents you are. Come home soon, we all miss you and can't wait to meet Ziva.
