Dancing with the Crying Spaghetti Monster
The final few seconds of this helped balance out a day of pretty intense mourning (and noodle eating, obviously): http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TfiGvS_X1UY
Janice and I watched this together and both said "Ahhhhh" at the same time, right at the end. The dancing was precious in its own right but the walk-off followed by the return to Daddy was priceless. Looks like you have yourselves a girl. My heart aches for her loss, but this too shall pass. She's already catching on that you belong to her, a belief that will strenghthen everyday and in short order. You guys are doing great. (But the peanut gallery demands more pics and more stories.) Love ya guys,
And as difficult as this time is, praise God for it. It means she has bonded, and thus bonding with you will be easier than if she hadn't bonded with anyone yet. My adopted brother, hadn't bonded and still struggles to this day (almost 40 years later) with connections to people.

So, so sweet. It definitely looks like you guys are making progress! I'm sure every day will be a little bit better.
