First Gotcha Day!
Today we celebrated Anna Marie's first Gotcha Day! It's so crazy to think that it's already been a year since we've had her in our family. What a gift from God she is. Tonight we made a special dinner of beef empanadas, arepas, and plantains, and it was soooo good! I'll post some pics of our celebration on our blog as soon as I can. Also, we have begun the process of adoption # 2, so we are "pregnant on paper" again! This time we plan on adopting a little boy, and we will be going through CRAN, the same casa that we adopted Anna from. I'll keep you posted along the way. It will probably be a longer journey this time, but at least we've been there and done that and know what to expect!

We haven't started a new blog yet, but we probably will. I'm spending too much time on Facebook these days and not enough time blogging!

Wow! I remember following along with your family when you were in Colombia. Time flys. It gives me hope when I know I still have 2 more long years to go.
Congratulations.
