| Our family...4 years of LOVE |
Emily and I have been a family for four years now! WOW, the time has flown right by.
We celebrated by going to the zoo with JuJu and then out to lunch at PF Chang's. We had a day of fun, sunshine, love, and laughter. After getting home from the zoo, I gave Emily her gift of the newest Tinker Bell movie, and then we all sat down to enjoy the movie as a family.
It is amazing that the wee, tiny girl who was handed to me screaming and crying in a government office in Taiyuan, China, is the same girl today.
She has gone through so much in the past four years...met me, her mommy, who was a total stranger to her, bonded with me in the first few minutes, learned to speak a whole new language, learned to trust and to love and how to be loved back. She has had surgery on her teeth, surgery on her thumbs, had lots of dental work done, gotten hearing aids, does speech therapy, is a bright beautiful Kindergartner (almost first grader), who LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to swim and also loves dogs. She is funny, silly, cute, stubborn, caring, loving, and eager to learn new things. She has gone from being a 3 1/2 year old wearing size 12 month clothing to a strong, independent 7 year old who now wears a size 6 clothing.
I could list the changes she has gone through forever, but let's just leave it at she is the LOVE of my life, and I can't even remember what my life was like without her in it!
Love you baby!
