Six Months Ago, Today...

I really can't believe it.

Six Months Ago Yesterday, we were a family of six...



Six Months Ago Today, we became a family of seven!



Six Months Ago Yesterday, we slept all night...



Six Months Ago Today, we hardly slept at all!



Six Months Ago Yesterday, we wondered if we would be able to truly love this baby we were adopting...



Six Months Ago Today, our hearts' capacity for love grew by bigger amounts than we ever dreamed possible!



Six Months Ago Today, we welcomed into our lives the tiniest baby girl we'd ever seen. She was so fragile, and yet had such a spirit of determination...



Today, that spirit is even more determined, and we can't even imagine life without her!



Six Months Ago Today, many people asked us, "Are you guys out of your minds?"



Today, we stand by our answer, "We're doing what we're SUPPOSED to do!"



Six Months Ago Today, I had no idea that tiny little fighting preemie would turn in to such a gorgeous baby girl, with a big appetite for rice cereal, and an iron-clad attachment to her mommy (and occasionally daddy, if mommy's not within eyesight).



I also had no idea she'd have the "Adorable, Pensive Pout" pose down so well!!

  4. Oh, I just love this! Congrats again, all.

    BTW, I saw that Kaylee is performing at the Arts fest this weekend. We won't be able to make it, but we wish her lots of good luck, or broken vocal chords, as it were!

  6. That really was a fast six months. I love that she has become such a mama's girl. That puts her into a race with her cousin Elisabeth to see who is the biggest mama's girl.
