There are few days in our lives that can be as special as the arrival of a child. Regardless of the way a child joins a family, it is an amazing, life-changing experience. Little Gymnast joined our family in December of 2005. One thing that I particularly cherish about that day is that we were able to share it with three other families. We all had precious girls placed in our arms that day. We shared the joy, wiped tears from little eyes, tried to get their little lips to turn to a smile, and took many pictures. Each of us started a journey to a little girl from a different place and we all ended the paper chase that day.
We have a tradition of Runner Boy taking a photo with our little girl on the anniversary of that Day...
Gotcha Day 2006 and 2007 photos appear to be an a file that I have temporarily misplaced...oops:
So imagine pictures of cute guy and little kid here....I gotta find that file.
Gotcha Day 2008...it was snowing that day...
Gotcha Day 2009...in our new house...
Gotcha Day 2010...
Gotcha Day 2011...
As she grows older, her thoughts about her history will evolve. May she come to a deep understanding of the depth of our love and of her heavenly Father.
Gotcha Day is a day to celebrate her adoption into our family and the gift that she is to our family.
