We celebrated one year yesterday...

I can't believe our daughter has been with us for a whole year. It has gone so fast! We celebrated "gotcha day" yesterday. I made Picadillo and rice for dinner. We had cake and ice cream too!! We had a nice family day. We are so blessed. This has been an amazing year. I still pray for all the families still in process.
