Heart Gabriella's Together Forever Day 3rd Anniversary

Yesterday, we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of Gabriella's Together Forever Day!! I can't believe it's been 3 years already. It seems like only yesterday we were sitting in the Guatemala City Marriott anxiously waiting for the moment our precious baby girl would be placed in our arms forever. Now, here we are 3 years later, with a precious baby girl who has turned into an amazing little girl. Every day with her is a blessing and we continuously thank God for allowing us to be her parents. Happy Together Forever Day Miss G!! We love you more than you can ever imagine!!
