Gotcha Day Celebration!

In the realm of Chinese adoption, 'Gotcha Day' is a big thing. Gotcha Day is the day that you finally hold your new child for the first time, after a very long wait... We held Mia in our arms for the first time on September 17th, 2007. Can you believe it's been 2 years already?! We can't... Time flies so fast. To celebrate our 2nd anniversary together we went out to dinner at 'The Great Wall', a fabulous Chinese restaurant in town. As usual, Mia was the center of attention. During dinner Mia noticed that their was a dance floor, and insisted that Daddy dance with her. She showed off her twirls... She's the best, and we're very lucky to be able to share our lives with her!


Big Lover!

After getting Mia out of the car to head into dinner for our Gotcha Day celebration, Mia spontaneously wrapped her arms around Daddy and gave a very long, and very loving, hug! These are the moments that make life worth living!!


"We Had Great Fun Today!"

Always the entertainer! Mia does the most amazingly cute things... Each night at bed time Mia takes a tubby with Daddy, then Mommy reads a few books and they lay down together. Lately, as Mommy is singing our angel to sleep, she has started this new thing where she interupts the song and blurts out, "We had great fun today Momma!" It is amazingly sweet and perfectly matches her loving character. We love our angel!
