GOTCHA!!!



It's a wonderful day in our house - the one year anniversary of Gotcha Day!!  One year ago, Rob and I were in a crowded, hot Civil Affairs office in Guangzhou nervously waiting for them to bring in our new daughter.  She was serious, pale, quiet and curious.  She loved the box of raisins that we gave her once back at the White Swan hotel.  She would not stand up and didn't make a sound.  Wow, how things have changed!!!  She is still curious and loves to eat but Hannah En Ming is silly, has a savage tan, is very funny, LOUD, and runs just about everywhere she goes.  Today we just marveled at how far that she's come and fell in love with her for the 365th day in a row.  Happy Gotcha Day Hannah!!!  We love you so much!!

1 Year since we boarded the plane to China!


Can you even believe that a whole year has passed since we got on the plane to meet our feisty toddler?  Amazing!  Now it feels like she has always been a part of the family and we can't imagine life without her. We just returned from a wonderful vacation in northern Vermont.  We'll post some pix from that but for today just thought I'd post my fave one of the girls from last week.  We love you Hannah and Riley!  What a pair!
