(above) The view from Ellie's room Well, the day we were waiting for finally came today. We, along with a photography team of Cydil's parents and sister, drove the 3+ hours to Vlore to visit Ellisona. Because of the slow internet connection here in Albania, we are posting additional pictures in the form of a slide show (click here).
Ellie resisted much snuggling which is what we desperately wanted to do, but you can see through the slide show that she did begin to warm up to us by the end. She appears to have a gentle nature and the only sounds we heard from her were laughs at the end due to tickling and the slurping she made when devouring her lunch. Incidentally, the laughs came after the eating (which makes us believe she'll fit in well with the Waggoner family).

Hey Nathan and Cydil,
Ellie looks soo cute. We can't wait to see her in person.
Nathan, Cydil, and Ellie,
We have cried as we looked through the pictures over and over. All of us have been checking for some word all day today. Our hearts are overflowing! Keep sending pictures as you can. We just called to let Stephen know about the pictures. They are on their way home now.
We love you,
Dad, Mom, and Rebecca
