What a difference a year makes!!!

One year ago today we received the most wonderful phone call in the world, telling us that we had a daughter waiting for us in China!!!! I can still remember that day like it was moments ago and wish we could relive that moment over and over again. But you know what-having Elizabeth here in the flesh is WAY more fun than a phone call! After waiting what seemed like an eternity, finally our dreams for a family had come true. Alot has changed in the last 12 months, for sure, but we are so blessed to have such a wonderful child like Elizabeth in our lives. She is so loveable, fiercely independent, creative, playful, spicy, and never stops moving, but she is ours and sooooooo worth that 3 year 9 month wait.



This is the first photo we saw of our girl

One year later-sitting forward facing for the first time on the way to swimming lessons!!!
Having a snack before swim class and showing off my new
bathing suit that Grams and Grandaddy sent me.
Until next time................................

I cannot believe it was a year ago that we all received that amazing call!! We also just turned Merrin's carseat around too, I never thought that day would come either. Give that sweet girl a kiss!

Love,
