We were Pink....our Embassy appointment was June 12, 2007
One year ago we were on our way. They time had finally come. We were on our way to Guatemala to bring home our daughter. A new chapter of our life as a family of four began.
It is hard to believe that a year ago we were boarding a plane on our way to bring home Mia. The past year has been filled with so much joy and happiness. We definitely had some moments wondering if we would survive. One year and a few more gray hairs later we are here as a family of four. Mia has settled into a routine and it seems like she has been with us much longer than a year. Ethan's nose is now back in alignment and he actually likes his little sister. He likes playing with her and teaching her about things. Mia has grown into a happy carefree little girl who adores Ethan and mimics EVERYTHING he does. (Including picking her nose:) She loves babies, Elmo, and coloring. But in a year we have noticed Miss Mia has a temper. Her mood can change on a dime and she has been know to spend some time in "timeout". Everyday gets better and better. We thank the Lord that he has led us to Ethan and Mia, I can't imagine our lives without them. We waited for almost one year to bring our little girl home and we continue to pray for our friends Lane & Karen and Bill & Arden. May the Lord bring their girls home soon so that they too can celebrate a year of being a forever family!
