Three years ago to the day, we were in Kolkata, meeting our daughter for the first time! We will never forget the walk up that dim staircase to the clean, bright rooms where the babies and toddlers were. Our eyes scanned the cribs until they landed on Baby Rashi's face -- a face we knew and loved from the pictures we'd received during our long wait.
Those first days were filled with wonder that it was all really happening: after two years of waiting, we were finally holding and feeding this new little daughter! We cannot imagine our lives or our family without her.
I can't believe that three years have already gone by. She is so inquisitive, funny, sweet, and opinionated. We love hearing her try to sound out which letters are in a word, we love watching her quick fingers put a puzzle together, and we even love listening to a little grumbling about wearing tights and a dress -- then seeing her light up at the compliments her Daddy gives her.
We love you, Anya Rashi, and we are so grateful that God has entrusted you to us.

I can't believe it has been three years. Wow! Seems we were just there picking up our girls. She was so cute in the crib standing beside Max Rup! Those huge beautiful eyes staring up at us.
BTW....what is the name of the ayah that is holding the bottle? She was Devi's favorite and we have conflicting accounts of her name.
Happy Three years!
