Well today's the day! Mike and I finally brought our little daughter Alice home! We flew in from Russian last night at 11 pm and we spent our first day together getting to know each other. I went up to West Hollywood before she got here so I could pick up some Russian food to help her assimilate into our home. Russians have so many amazing pastries!

Today I served dinner our on the patio. She dipped bread in her milk, which I heard is customary for Russians. She has been very quiet but very curious about her new surroundings. We got her a little Disney Bear that she has not let go of. The adoption agency said she is a fan of the British soccer team Arsenal because one of their players is also on the Russian National Team, any English she speaks she has picked up from watching the games. It is so cute listening to her broken English that has a mixture of a British and Russian accent!

Well more coming tomorrow!
