We have been very focused on looking ahead recently, to our move to Florida, to Daddy having new and different responsibilities at work, planning birthdays, and room designs, but I have to take a few minutes today and look back. Today marks two years since that moment when Julia was placed crying into my arms. She only cried those first few moments and after that only if she couldn't reach or see Daddy or I. Sometimes I can't believe it's been 2 years and others it is like she was always here. We had been preparing for her for so very long, so much longer than our paper chase and wait to referral was, though that felt long enough at the time.
I could never put into words the feelings of that day, try though I might. It was too big for words. It will have to be enough to say we were blessed beyond measure and though she is now a stubborn almost 3 year old, I would do it all over again in a minute. The waiting, the anxiety, the worrying about how she'll be as she grows, all of that is nothing to the joy we share every day as a family. Happy Family Day Julia! We love you more each day!

Wow - 2 years sure has gone by in a jiff! I know it sure didn't feel like it when we were on the flip side and waiting for that long but now the time just flies by! Happy 2nd Anniversary!
