Lily's Gotcha Day

Happy Gotcha Day Lily
 
3 years ago today we met Lily.  You all know her story and our journey. 
 
 
 
 
 
(video of Liy's first moments with us)
 
 
As I sit in Chicago airport typing this, while waiting for a flight to Hong Kong to adopt Cole, it is hard to believe that we were in this same airport 3 years ago almost to the day.  Their gotcha days will be 4 days apart :)!!

She has come so far, and she is about to face a HUGE milestone in her life with her open heart surgery on August 22nd.

We have grown and changed as a family because of Lily.  She has taught us so much, and she is loved deeply by all of us.

We can not wait to see all that the future holds for our precious girl

It seems like last week that I was following your journey in China. Lily looks so well and happy. You have done such a wonderful job. I'm praying for your journey to Cole now and I can't wait to "meet" him.
