>>Happy Adoption Day<<
Abby Liz
!!!!4 years ago today!!!!
Four years ago today, Abby Liz officially became our daughter!!!
On this day we finished our adoption paperwork for China and received our adoption decree. Abby's foot was dipped into red ink and stamped along with our finger prints, what memories!
She was such a good girl that morning, resting on Daddies shoulder most of the time. But, when it came time for our "official" family photo, she was not a happy girl. I remember this well, because it was really one of the only times she cried!
I also remember taking her to the pool on this day! She wore an American flag bikini and obviously had never been in a pool. Once I showed her how to splash at Daddy, she loved it!
Next Sunday we celebrate with our friends , our dear friends that we have met through Adoption. Along with Abby, I could now not imagine having them in my life. Abby has a very special relationship with each of the four girls and we hope they stay friends for many years. This is also our fourth years as friends and it is very special to all of us.
It has to be said just how grateful we are. Abby Liz was made FOR us, we have no doubt. From the way she rolls her eyes to the way she puts her index finger on her cheek in deep thought!
She is a precious gift!
***Funny story.....I told Abby that she can now say that she is 4 and 3 quarters, instead of 4 and a half. Well she is
a little stressed at the fact that her friend is 5 and has been 5 since March, while she is still 4. So I thought telling her to say 3 quarters would help her cope with "beig just 4". Well, she says to me yesterday........."Mom, When Zan (her friend) turns six in March, will i be 4, 3quarters 2 dimes and a nichel?"
Gotta love it!
Have a great June 29th everyone!
