| You weren't too sure about us . . . |
 |
| You fell asleep in the taxi on the way to the hotel. |
 |
| Beautiful smiles on our 2nd day together! |
 |
| Poor baby -- you were so shell-shocked and afraid that first day. |
 |
| Our first morning together -- you've found your smile again. |

| Home, sweet home -- with your big brothers. |
You are a joy, and I wish we could somehow let your birth family know that you're thriving and well. We think of them and pray for them often, and wonder what their circumstances are now.
And now our lives are about to change again, as another sister joins our family. I can't wait to see you as a big sister! You have so much enthusiasm for life, and I know you are going to be K's teacher and friend. You are irreplaceable in our hearts, and we are so, so grateful to God for weaving our lives together.

I am soooo happy for you. I can't believe FIVE YEARS. How awesome. I cannot wait until K's in the picture with all of you.... What a beautiful family you have!!!!!
Oh my goodness! I love seeing these pictures. What a beautiful smile she has.
What a wonderful five years with your precious girl! Can't wait until K. joins you, as well.
It is hard to believe that it has been 5 wonderful years since you first met.
Beautiful words!

Well said. Still feels like a time warp with these kids. Like they have been with us forever, but it just happened yesterday. She is growing to be a beautiful young lady.

Beautiful post. Enjoyed seeing the pics of those early "firsts". She did find her smile fast, didn't she! What a beautiful note for your sweet daughter.
