I was unable to travel with the Abrams but I got the next best thing - new pictures of Yeni and a personal update on her.  Thank you Danielle for being so insistent on seeing her.

Per Danielle:  "Yen is BEAUTIFUL.  She is more shy and quiet than Norah.  She seemed very overwhelmed by the attention . . . Yen made really really good eye contact with me . . . She does not feel as heavy as Norah so I am not positive the weights are correct . . . Her hair & head are perfect and she looked like whatever cold bug she might have had is all gone  . . ."

"Shy and quiet' - so far she is nothing like her mother he he

I love these pictures - they are my favorite so far - I cried when I saw them.  I think she is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to be the one to hold her.  Maybe I am more emotional this round because I am so close to finally holding my daughter.  

The i-600 approval can come any day now and then I hope to travel within a few days of approval.  I am 100% ready to go.  I would leave tomorrow if they let me.

(the pictures came in a zip file and I can't figure out how to attach them???)
