New Photos of Ellie!

I have been meaning to post for a few days on some random events and will update those too...but today we received some new photos of Ellie from another family who visited our orphanage adopting their own child. They came back last week and said that they were able to visit the orphanage and get some photos of Ellie and she sent them via e-mail today! We are so excited to see that she seems to be doing well and is being taken care of well. We still don't have much of an update on her gross motor skills as our friend was not allowed to spend a lot of time with the kids and she couldn't take Ellie out of the crib but she is standing and does seem bigger than in the last photo we have of her! I talked this morning with our agency and she indicated that we are out of review and that she hopes we have TA or travel approval by Sept...not sure when we will travel but that is our hope too! Ellie....we are trying to wait patiently to come and get you!!! I hope we are holding you by early fall!!
Without further ado...here are the new pics!
