We are introducing our daughter
KALLIE FRANCES DECK!
Her birthday is July 4, 2007 (Dalton you have a birthday twin!)
We have just come back to the apartment from the orphanage. Our plan was to go get groceries for lunch first, but we can’t wait to post these pictures. Our visit today was FANTASTIC! Kallie was a bit leery to leave with us, but the worker did some talking and comforting and she didn’t even cry. I held her for the first bit and slowly she branched out to Darryl & Kaiden. Today she was really interested in the two books that we brought for her. After feeding her an arrowroot cookie and getting her to smile we know that she has a few teeth we just not sure how many. We gave her some water to drink out of a sippy cup and it was a success. She is a very solid girl! Our arms are sore from carrying her but were not complaining! She did walk around a bit. She is a little unsteady therefore we know there are going to be many bumps and bruises ahead.
We were able to get a few pictures today we hope you enjoy them!
Love,
The Decks

I just got my hair done, (my hairdresser is Lisa's friend,) Lisa had a girl Dec. 27 and named her Kate Emily appparently in labor for like 7 min. She had a lot of dark hair too. Ray and the boys are ecstatic for you. We can't wait to meet your new addition when you get back home.

CONGRATULATIONS! Wow, what a cutie! We are thrilled for you. Kaiden---you will be a wonderful big brother, and Kallie is lucky to have you around to show the ropes. Has your court date been set? Any chance you might be able to get a photo from the orphanage when Kallie was younger? It would be a good keepsake. We wish you a speedy process with all the official stuff. Enjoy your visits with this special angel, and enjoy your time as you grow as a family.
