Two years ago today, we met a very scared little girl for the first time.
(Doesn’t she look like she is screaming “Who the hell is this woman? I want to go home!”)
L was once the girl who cried the most in the entire orphanage and the girl who could not bear to be more than 5 feet away from me without her whole world shattering into a billion pieces.
A short two years later, she is a girl who marches out into the world confident and fearless and never seems to doubt that we will be loving and watching over her. She is a girl who grabs life with both hands and an infectious laugh.
I can’t imagine this family without her.
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been two years already. L sounds like an amazing resilient, fun little girl.
I remember you coming home. We had been home 2 months. How amazingly our kids have come! Happy Family day to you!
she is so stinkin’ cute i can hardly stand it! she will have to marry tate and we can be super special in-laws!!
it was crazy to me yesterday when she jumped into amy’s arms. she’s really come out of her shell lately! love her.
Oh my god, she’s so adorable. Those cheeks! Amazing.
Oh, she’s darling. Has it been two years already? Wow.
Congratulations on two years together, from a long-time lurker.
Hard to believe it’s been two years. And I’m craving noodles and beans from the Cow & Bridge. The photo is too, too cute!
Congrats on your second family day!!! In May, our DD’s 2nd family day happens.
Just lovely.
Congratulations-she does look so happy and confident, and I know it wasn’t easy. ~lmc
She’s an adorable little girl. Pretty in Pink!
Congrats on your 2nd anniversary, and L is too adorable for words. We adopted our 2nd daughter a month ago and are going through some of the same issues as you experienced (cannot bear to be out of my arms). I hope that our new daughter will one day become as confident as L.
Congratulations on two years together. Gosh, it seems like yesterday. She is such a beauty!
Congratulations to your family! She is beautiful and just glows with happiness now!
This is going by way too fast. L’s smile sure does light up the room. I am happy to read that she is doing so well.
