Happy Family Day, D!


Two years ago today- while we stood waiting in a small office in Xi'an China, into the room walked 2 nannies holding a sweaty little baby in a purple jumper. Her nanny handed her to us and she gazed into our eyes and started wailing. We had no idea all of the wonderful and amazing and challenging ways you were going to change our lives. It is hard to believe that it has been two years. On one hand it seems like it was just yesterday, while on the other hand it seems like you have always been here. You have come from being that baby so afraid of us that you clung to me for dear life hours upon hours to the brave girl who climbed without hesitation onto the biggest horse during horseback riding the other day at your school. We are so grateful to be able to be your parents. Today we also remember your birthparents, because as you are a part of us, they are a part of you.

Happy Family Day D- We Love You
