Two Years Ago Today

Two years ago today, we held Mary Joyce in our arms for the first time at the Civil Affairs office in Nanchang. It is hard to believe that it has already been 2 years, and it is hard to believe that it has only been 2 years, if that makes sense.

I've posted on our blog, including our Gotcha Day video:

Our Family's Voyage

Isn't it amazing? I totally get the "can't believe it's been...has it only been?" concept.
Your daughter is so precious.

Congratulations on 2 years with your daughter.

We just celebrated 2 years with our daughter on Sept 4. We got to spend the day in airports and on airplanes flying back to China to adopt our second daughter.
