Forever Family Day - 5 year anniversary

We interrupt this blog posting drought to bring you a very important message. TODAY has been 5 YEARS since we held Samara in our arms for the very first time. FIVE YEARS!!! Feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago all at once.

A trip down memory lane:

February 2007 - Forever Family Day



February 2008 - One year home

February 2009 - two years home

February 2010 - three years home

February 2011 - four years home

And the present - the here and now - our beautiful blessing!

Thank you Lord for blessing our family with this precious gift.
