Finally able to post pics!!

Ever since I've brought my daugther home in April I haven't been able to post pictures. Whenever I tried, it would change my jpeg image into something that wasn't transferrable (don't know much about doing this). Anyway, I was playing around with it today and found a way to post pictures again.

Some people may remember Gabriella and the problems we had getting PA. Here's her referral pic and one taken last week

It's great to see pictures! She is beautiful and yes, I do remember how horrible your wait for PA was.

Thanks for sharing her pictures!
