Today marks one year since Anna left the orphanage! One year since she joined a family forever. It's surreal and hard to believe. This year has been hard and beautiful and challenging and fun. We've seen Anna grow by leaps and bounds both physically and emotionally. She is most certainly not the same terrified little girl that we picked up one year ago. She is so full of life and joy and tenacity and determination. We are so proud of our Anna girl and cannot wait to see what this next year has in store, and we give all the glory to God as He has done and is continuing to do great things in her life.
Tonight, to celebrate Gotcha Day, we are going to hang out at home and have fried chicken and mashed potatoes and homemade banana pudding ... a few of Anna's favorites. We'll play and laugh and hopefully have a limited number of fits.
A year ago ...
And from the past few weeks ...
Thank you all for supporting us, loving us, praying for us, and walking this journey with us. We appreciate you more than you'll ever know.
Happy Gotcha Day, Anna Gayle!
