Heart Home 3 months

3 months ago today we landed in Philadelphia with our beautiful girl.

Here she is on June 29th:

Name:  Airport Compress.JPG
Views: 274
Size:  8.1 KB


And now:
Name:  Reading compress.JPG
Views: 9
Size:  23.4 KB

We feel like she has always been a part of our family.

She has certainly woven her way into our hearts.

I was just thinking the same thing. I can believe how fast time flies. Anna has gotten so big . I don't know if you remember us or not but we were on that long plane ride with you all the way back to PA. Landen has been with us now three months as well. Time flies enjoy every second!!!
Here is a new pic of my little(big) man ...
