One Year with Lily

Over the last two days we have been celebrating the one year anniversary of Lily becoming.......

 a part of our family




the first moment we saw her






the day she became ours officially




the amazing physical changes in her



                                                                  






from having to be supported by her sister to sit up





to pulling herself to stand






from being in the hospital and fed by a tube             




to eating at the pool







we love you Lily and can'twait to see what we will be looking back at next year.....





This year has been a journey, full of joys and challenges.  There have been times that we have needed the support of our family and friends, and moments where we weren't sure if we were strong enough for this journey.  Gods grace has sustained us, and we thank him for every miracle we have seen in lily's life.

We love her more than words can express, she has changed our lives forever.  We thank God for her every day, and that He chose us to be her parents and family.

Happy Gotcha Day anniversary! We are celebrating also with Kimberly. We'll never forget meeting you all in Chicago on the way to China then seeing you again at the embassy. Lily has had an amazing year of transformation. We continue to pray for her and love seeing your beautiful family through your blog. We wish you many blessings.

Wow! She has grown so much! You can tell from the pictures that she is so loved. I remember thinking how adorable she was when we were all in China together. She is one special little gal. Best wishes!

Happy Gotcha Lily Day! She has changed so much in one year! It's good to see some weight on her, and to see her pulling herself up! We'll continue to pray for her little heart, and for you as you wait faithfully on the Lord.
