3 Years Ago....

Emmi was placed in our arms for the first time. It was actually Aug. 21 so this thread is a few days late. I posted a movie on our blog that my brother made for us when we came home of our time in GC with Emmi. Please feel free to watch it. I know when I was waiting (well, and I am waiting again going on week 7 of BC wait) it always helped to see that it really does happen! My daughter is so precious and I can't imagine life without her. She is an absolute joy and she can't wait for her little brother to come home!

Happy gotcha day! She's a real beauty and I can't wait to hear your little man is coming home!! It sure wa nice to see when I was in process as well. I kept wondering if it really did happen or not and when it finally did I had to pinch myself because I became a mom twice in less than two weeks !
