<\/p>\nFriday was a special day for our family.\u00a0 It was the two year mark of being a forever family.\u00a0 Wow! Two years! How did that happen?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here is a picture I can now show of our girl on day one.\u00a0 She walked into our lives quietly, not showing emotion other than grief, and she was unsure of us.\u00a0 It was tough on all parties. S he had her grief, and we were trying to figure out as first time parents how to comfort her and let her know we will be here for her.<\/p>\n

This picture is exactly two years later. \u00a0 We have a strong family bond, and Little Miss is always telling us we will stick together.\u00a0 Yes, Little Miss, we will.\u00a0 Our girl is thriving and seeing these early pictures is difficult because it was really hard on her.\u00a0 She had a loving foster mother who took wonderful care of our daughter before we could be there.\u00a0 I still think about her foster mother a lot.\u00a0 I mail her pictures and send her updates.\u00a0 I let her know we are adopting again, and we will bring Little Miss with us to Thailand and hope to meet up at some point.\u00a0 We pray for her.<\/p>\n

Little Miss is all girl.\u00a0 She loves everything about princesses and dressing up.\u00a0 She loves all accessories, and she wears them all the time at home.\u00a0 Now I notice in this picture she made it out the house on our walk with her clip-on pearl earrings.\u00a0 Also, she is on her second pair of pink cowgirl boots.\u00a0 She would wear them to bed if we let her!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She continues to grow and grow.\u00a0 This dress, even with her dress up play heels, was touching the floor on her birthday.\u00a0 Now it is not even close.\u00a0 She is even taller than I was at this age, and I am six feet tall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She has a heart of gold and loves to help whenever she can.\u00a0 I love her excitement\u00a0for the little things in life.\u00a0 I need to learn how to get super excited about folding a washcloth.\u00a0 Here she helped make a Minnie Mouse pinata in Nicaragua.\u00a0 Her teacher was deaf and was so patient with her.\u00a0 He taught her how to cut with scissors and let her cut and glue.\u00a0 I loved watching her learn and work with one of the locals to make this cute pinata.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She loves design and home decor.\u00a0 I left a Ballard’s magazine upstairs in the hall one night.\u00a0 When I went to bed I didn’t see the magazine, but I noticed she had it in bed and was flipping through the pages.\u00a0 She told me the lamps in the magazine were her favorite, and she likes to look at them.\u00a0 When I take her shopping the girl loves texture\u00a0and gives her opinion on what she likes and doesn’t like in terms of decor.\u00a0 It is pretty funny, and she is so my girl!!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
What can I say? \u00a0 She is doing great.\u00a0 We are doing great, and I am so happy we are all together as a family.\u00a0 We love our girl so much.\u00a0 Thank you to everyone who has followed along our journey.\u00a0 Adoption is a wonderful thing, and we are excited as we wait for #2.<\/p>\n
Cheers!<\/p>\n
