Sharing some family pics!

My mom and step-dad came in from France from the Holidays, so we decided to go ahead and get some family portraits done! I am so happy with the way they turned out! I love the whole group pic, our family pic on the brown background and the close up of Margaux. My little one is growing so fast. It's bittersweet because I know she is my last baby! Yesterday marked the first anniversary of our referral from China.

Very cute. Happy Anniversary!
The solitary one of her wearing the pearls is just such a precious look.
Your first daughter looks VERY European. They're both beautiful.
Cherish each day! Cady is not my last, but I already have a 24 yr old son, and let me tell you, it all happens in a blink of an eye. Just about the time you realize that you want them to 'bother' you again, with hanging on you all the time, that's about the same time you realize that they never will be young enough to do it the same way again.

BTW, your post on your blog about 'Ten things adoptive parents wish you knew, but would never tell you' is wonderfully written. And all so true. Kudos to your friend that wrote it.

That closeup is so adorable! What a beautiful family you have! So smart to get portraits while family visits.
