Just 36 months ago, T and I boarded a plane to Africa. Waiting for us was a beautiful and tiny bundle of love.
We met an amazing group of folks with very similar families (lots of 3 year old sons in our group). We were forever changed by the country. The people. The love.
It hasn't always been easy since we made that first flight to Africa. In fact, our flight out of Africa was well...tough. (Still really sorry about the gift G shared all over the shoes of one of our travel group Dads.) I am so thankful that this group of families has been so open to sharing their journey via their blogs since we live pretty far from most of the group. You can check in with them here. Or here. Or here. Or here. In fact, there are only a couple of families who I don't hear about via blogging or facebook. Of everyone else, we are the ONLY family who hasn't adopted again. But frankly, this little bundle of joy made our family complete.*
* that and it didn't take long to understand the nannies' suggestion that we give her whatever she wants when she cries. She could pierce ear drums with those lungs and still tries from time to time.

Hard to believe. Time is moving so quickly - I need to put the brakes on to even replay the memories...
Happy three years of being, well whole.
We really did have an amazing travel group. And the first time I laid eyes on that daughter of yours I was blown away by her beauty...still am! Happy 3 years to you!
I'll have to tell Dave the apology finally came (ha!) So thankful for the way our lives crossed three years ago. Precious memories like those will never be replaced.
