One Year Ago Today...

Lately I have found myself saying those words..."One year ago today..." and applying it to our adoption journey. Today is particularly sweet...it was the day we left for China. Yes, in just 2 days it will be our Gotcha Day! I am overwhelmed with emotion pertaining to these days. I feel totally nostalgic about China and our trip. I can't believe it has been a year...it seems like only a few months! Because it is all so hard to put into words I put together the video below to "commemorate" our first year. I hope you enjoy it! If you are in the same place as we are you might just watch it an reminisce. If you are waiting, I pray you watch it and take heart that it will be you sooner than you think...I promise! In just 2 days I will have Gotcha Day pics up to post! Enjoy...

Happy Valentines Day and Stuff!

The boys dressed Taryn up as Indiana Jones!

She is such a "girl" with her purse and her cell phone inside! She goes everywhere with her purse.

Garrett and his Valentine Candy!

Taryn and her Valentine Suckers!

Yummy!

We are buried under snow here in KY! Nothing like those in NY or WA, but we are having more snow here than I have seen in awhile. The boys are having a blast. Poor Taryn, however, is not getting out in it much because it requires one parent to go with her...and Mama doesn't like cold! :) So, she hasn't gotten to play in it as much as her brothers.
I can't believe it is February already. We have already been contacted by our SW for our 1 year follow up! OUR ONE YEAR FOLLOW UP! It will be one year in March! Can you even believe it? It feels like it was just yesterday (or at the least a few months ago!) that we were in China! I will have to let everyone know how our follow up goes...as well as our 1st Gotcha Day! We have already made plans to get with one of our traveling couples and go eat Chinese Food with the girls! So, enjoy the few pictures from Valentines Day...until next time!
