One year ago this week....

.........we left America to get our baby girl!!!!!!




Getting our luggage at the Ethiopian Airport.





The first time Mike held our baby. She was so scared!


My heart was aching for her.


Back home in America.....the WHOLE family finally together!!!



Happy One Year Gotcha Day!!!!!!!!!

We Love You More Than Words Can say!!!

The LORD has done great things for us,

and we are filled with joy.

Psalm 126:3
