7 Month Gotcha Anniversary



It's so hard to believe that it's been only 7 months since Jaiden was placed into our arms. The wait was endless and we didn't think it was ever going to be our turn and then almost overnight our lives were changed forever. I'll never forget the moment we first looked into those deep chocolate eyes and felt her warmth. The smell of her was pungent and very wholesome - kinda like a field of wheat after a rain. She never cried and she fit into our lives like she's always been here. Our little miracle of life that amazes us every day with her smile and her deep gutteral laugh. We aren't always sure of how to handle the temper streak that runs so deep and we can't quite figure out how she can go from screaming like a banshee to laughing hysterically in the same moment. But each moment is a treasure and she is our shining jewel. More precious than all the jewels on Earth. Happy 7 months Group 117B!!!

Congrats on your anniversary!! Time flies so quickly after the long wait doesn't it?? We're just a couple of weeks away from a year now to the first time we saw Julia's pictures. So hard to believe. As for the temper, don't worry, as you saw, Jaiden's not the only one who's got one. I figure it will make for an interesting future. :) Best wishes and enjoy every moment of that beautiful girl!!
