If your reading this, your going to get tired of hearing about the Anniversary Celebrations coming up! In the adoption community we are celebrating today because it was a year ago that we were all glued to our computer chairs and jumped if the phone rang thinking it was our agency. Mike came home from work at noon, the boys were lingering around, My Mom was here and my sister in law Danielle with Jacob in tow. Our friends Charleen and her daughters were here, bringing a beautiful bouquet of flowers to celebrate. Friends popped in and out hoping to get a peek of the eagerly awaited baby girl. At 5:30 'the call' came with the news that Qian Xue Han in Qianjiang Orpahange awaited her family. We were told of her birthday of May 28, 2005...smack dab in the middle of all her brothers birthdays :>) and that she was found in old cotton clothing at the gate of a cultural park at 3 days old. Shortly after we were sent these beautiful pictures and life began taking on the excitement of our travel to China and our daughter's journey home with us. Looking at this little ray of sunshine now, its hard to imagine that her life started out any way other than perfect. But its the way that led her to us and us to her.

Can it really be a year since these little miracles came into our lives. I do remember that day. That had to be the worst waiting of the whole bunch. Now we have our girls and we are complete. What a blessing!!!
