One year ago.....we were on our way
 One year ago today we were on our away to bring home out daughter. A new chapter of our life as a family of four began. My how the time has flown by! This past year has been filled with such joy and happiness. We also have had some rough moments that we wondered if we would survive. A few gray hairs later we now have settled into a routine. Mia brings so much joy and happiness to our family. Ethan loves teaching her new things (like how to pick your nose) and loves that he has a playmate. We continue to pray for all of those still waiting to bring home their children. May the Lord let these children come home to their forever families. Especially leifjackie & karen nickols!! Here are some pics from the past year. On June 25 Mia will be two and hope to have more pictures then. We also have more pics on out blog

We were on our way as well at the same time as you. (My 1yr post is coming soon.)
Congratulations!!! Isn't is just crazy that a year could fly by so fast, when it felt like a lifetime trying to get them home.
