Here are some photos of Stefanie meeting her new family. It has been a whirlwind of emotions for everyone, especially Stefanie and Matt.... but we are all truly blessed! I think everyone had an amazing evening!
Emily making the dessert for the day! She did an excellent job - super yummy!
Emily and Stefanie - so cute together!
Emily showing Stefanie photos on the iPad - lots to catch up on!!
William was super excited to meet his "new sister." He asked to call her the day we told him about her and kept saying, "Oh, so cute" when we showed him her pictures!
Matt and his oldest daughter - both of them are very happy!
Stef and Kelly - She's soooo sweet!!
Meeting Grandma Laurie!
It's like they've known each other for years!! They were on the same train of thought and practically finished each others sentences!
Meeting Auntie Laura!!
So beautiful!!
Meeting Hope!
Stefanie brought gifts for Emily and William, which were very thoughtful. The kids both loved everything!! One of the gifts for William was a St. Cloud State University T-shirt, where Stefanie attends college, which William quickly changed into.
Stefanie was putting her number into Grandma Laurie's phone and William got a hold of Stefanie's phone...
He updated her Facebook status before she could stop him...
...he has a lot of important things to say! Here's the Facebook Post (I couldn't get it to post an actual photo of the post from FB, but this is the gist).

Then he got to take photos of her with her phone!
William is very into electronics. Here he is with Grandma Laurie and her phone. I'm not sure who is showing who how to use the phone!
