3 Years ago today, Happy Gotcha Day!

It was 3 years ago today that our oldest Eli was put in our arms forever in Guatemala. He is no longer that little baby boy, he is growing up to be so big. The last two gotcha days I was just really happy and not emotional at all, but today I can't stop crying and looking at him and wanting to hug and kiss him. He just is the love of my life and we are so lucky to have him with us. Maybe my emotions are due to the fact that he is truely growing up so fast, he starts pre-school in 2 weeks!! I am truely a lucky mommy to have him in my life!
Just wanted to share our happy day! Thanks for letting me share!
I couldn't get my pictures to post here, check out my blog to see coming home and now pics.

Magen
My family!

Happy Gotcha Day!! We are celebrating our 2 year today. I am still pinching myself saying I can't believe he is mine.
