Father's Day Video

We didn't really do anything special for Father's Day, but we did have a great day with Ana Kate. Plus Whitney got home from her senior trip this evening and we were all SO happy to see her, we missed her SO much! Ana Kate wouldn't leave her alone for even a minute. We went for a walk around 7:00 to give Whitney a little break and Ana Kate kept pointing at things and saying 'What's that Daddy?" It was too cute! I also managed to capture our sweet girl on video earlier today. She can be going non-stop and talking my ear off and then when I get the camcorder out...nothing. She was mostly interested in seeing herself on the screen, but she did say a few things. Enjoy!

I really can't believe it's been a year already, but look at how our baby girl has grown. She is absolutely amazing! We are SO blessed and thank God every day for our precious gift!

I am working on a video with pictures from the past year to celebrate our first Forever Family Day. When I have it completed I will post it.

We also heard from Randy and Laura tonight (our travel companions in Vietnam). They held Tyler for the first time on that same night. What an amazing experience we all had. Here is the picture of us all together last year:
