Our 2nd referral anniversary is today!
Today is our 2-year referral anniversary! I had Charlotte hold her referral picture up and a picture I took of her last year - took the pic with my cell phone this morning...I had to bribe her with fruit snacks to take this pic...
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2617/...bb882eeec0.jpg So hard to believe it has been two years since first seeing her sweet face. I was on Cloud 9 for days. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/...73aa68cd4c.jpg

Oh wow! It seems like she's been with you forever. On the other hand, that seems like yesterday.
Congratulations on this anniversary.

WOW hard to believe isn't it? Cady's going to be home 4 years in March. Seems like yesterday, but seems like forever all at the same time.
Happy Referral Day. Are you guys doing anything special for Gotcha Day?

Yes, we will - although I am not sure what we will do just yet. Adam and I will both take the day off work, of course, as we most importantly all want to be together as a family for the whole day. It is on a Thursday this year. Last night we celebrated our referral anniversary with dinner at Hunan (of course - since she is a Hunan girl) and then we went to a playground for awhile and then stopped for ice cream cones at McDonald's on the way home. We had a blast!

Congratulations! Your journey was one of the first we started following (stalking? LOL) . Charlotte is such a cutie.
We are one month away from our one-year Gotcha anniversary. Time sure has flown by. Kevin, Violet and Jake

Thank you!! She really is such a happy child - she definitely has a "half glass full" type of attitude, and has since the day we met her. And yes, I do believe you will get your wonderful child someday, too!!
