Sweet, sweet memories! I remember carefully following your time in China and will always remember Samara's adorable little fingers in her mouth. They were her trademark. *sigh*

3 years already?!?! I followed you through your journey and I recall it like it was yesterday. Time sure does fly. Happy 3 years with your beautiful girl!

Happy belated Gotcha Day- it's hard to believe it's been 3 years. It seems like only yesterday we were in contact almost daily planning our various trips and me sharing info from China since you were following much the same itinerary as us. Wow!

Wow - the time must have flown....

In the pictures below of Denver's gotcha day, it's alike deja vu or something of his sisters... I wonder if all gotcha days are that same mixture of joy and loss.

PS: I recognize the puffs in the back of Denver's gotcha day pictures! Boy o boy, our girls have grown.
