Gotcha Day was
ONE YEAR AGO
TODAY.
ONE YEAR!
Where did the last year go? Seriously, people.
I'm out of words today. My thoughts are a little all over the place. I'll just post my favorite pictures from the last year and maybe words will come later.
 |
| May 28, 2012 - Gotcha Day - Xi'an, Shaanxi China with a director from the orphanage. One of the only clear photos I have from that day because L hated the camera. |
 |
| June 2012 - Home in the USA. Living at Grandma Collins' condo in Horseshoe Bay, TX. Learning how to blow bubbles. |
 |
| July 22, 2012 - Her 2nd birthday. She looks like such a little baby here. |
 |
| August 2012 - Playing dress up. Look that than tan! |
 |
| September 2012 - Just starting to try barrettes to clip her hair back. The bangs seemed to grow overnight! |

October 2012 - She loves that zebra shirt.
|
 |
| December 2012 - Christmas Eve all dressed up for church. |
 |
| January 2013 - In her room on the zebra chair. Starting to look less like a baby and more like a little girl. |
 |
| February 2013 - Chinese New Year Wearing the dress that "Aunt" Hilary found in Minnesota. |
 |
| March 2013 - Goofy girl playing a game of chase mommy. She still rarely looks at the camera, so this shot is a treasure! |
 |
| April 2013 - Happy girl despite not having a nap after church. |
 |
| Today - May 28, 2013 - enjoying a celebratory Gotcha Day cupcake! |
Happy Gotcha Day to my daughter!
Love,
Mommy
