Happy Anniversary to us!


August 4, 2009 was the day we officially adopted our Lila.  We met her on August 3 then returned to the adoption center the next day to sign the final papers and take the oath.  It doesn't seem possible that it has already been a year. It seems like we were just in China.

Look at the changes in her in the slideshow.  It amazes me to see how much she has grown and the happiness in her expression.  She was so scared at first but her true happy, outgoing, silly, sweet, loving, affectionate, personality has shone through.  Our baby is now a little girl ready to start preschool in a couple weeks.   She is all we hoped for during the long, long wait. The perfect little daughter for our family.

Congrats on your one year anniversary! Funny that we were on the same side of the world last year and had no idea we would be meeting in the way we did!!
