Four Years Ago Today














I can hardly believe it's been that long...tonight we'll go out and celebrate. She says she wants "Chinese food 'cause Ava 'n me are from China." Of course, that could change at any minute to Chik-Fil-A--'cause they have milkshakes and a playplace.

You can see the single tear trickling down her cheek...she had a soft, scared cry, and was so very tiny, and felt like such a frail 14 lbs. (she's now doubled her weight--woohoo!). Her clothes smelled like coal...it was very chilly as they were having a cold snap. I could hardly believe she was mine--what a miracle.

Can you believe it is that long ago?
Our 6 year anniversary is coming up Jan 5. The room looks familiar, it is where we met Faith!

She was gorgeous then and now! We just celebrated Loe's 4th Gotcha day almost a month ago and we've had Ren 6 months already. Can not believe how fast the time goes. Happy New Year!

Happy Family Day! I can't believe how much she still favors her baby pictures. Lovely girl & lucky family.

I apologize this is a bit delayed, but I just had to say that those pictures (both then and now) are just precious! What a gift!
