A Special Day

September 17 will always be a special day for a few reasons. First of all, it is the day Steve and I finally met our daughter, Anna Grace, for the first time. Second of all, it was my grandmother's birthday and the same grandma who Anna is named after. God's timing is perfect!! We are forever grateful to God for this precious gift He has given (entrusted) to us. She is a delight and our hearts are filled to overflowing. We are also grateful to God for the wonderful families that we met and traveled with, our forever friends and Anna's forever sisters. Our lives have truly been enriched. Happy Gotcha Day or Family Day to all our China sisters and families.

Waiting to go in Anna's orphanage. To say our hearts were racing is an understatement.

Once we were all back on the bus and it started to leave, every baby fell asleep. It was amazing and so quiet.

Playing with her baby. This is the same day.

This was a few days later in Guangzhou. We shopped til we literally dropped.

Today, our beautiful 4 year old Anna. She loves life, preschool, church, gymnastics and playing wild with daddy. All around happy little girl.
