Today we are celebrating our Forever Family Day. Two years ago today after traveling for nearly 40 hours to an orphanage in the middle of a rural province in Vietnam, I finally held my baby girl in my arms. It was one of the best days of my life!
I have been reflecting on that moment all day today after a particularly rough night with Ana Kate last night. Life with a toddler (in the midst of the terrible two's) isn't always easy, but I wouldn't trade a single moment. She is such an amazing blessing and we love her so very much! I can't believe it's been 2 years already and as I look back at the pictures and videos of our time in Vietnam it's amazing how much she has grown. From taking her first steps to a sassy big girl that thinks she is in charge of all of us. : ) She is such a smart and amazing girl, with an absolutely captivating personality.
Today we had a great day! We did stay at home most of the day, but it didn't rain...yay! It was beautiful and sunny all day. Ana Kate took a great nap for me and when Doug got home we went out to look for some new photo shoot locations. We stopped at one and I took several pictures of Ana Kate....the sun wasn't really where I wanted it and Ana Kate wasn't really into it. I still managed to get a few decent shots. Then we picked up some chinese food and had dinner at home with Whitney and Josh.
I thought I'd include pictures on this date from the past 2 years so you can see how much our beautiful girl has grown.
