First Family Day

One year ago today , our beautiful Charlotte was placed in our arms and into our lives forever. Looking back at that day is so emotional for me.  Looking at pictures brings me back to seeing how scared and timid Charlotte was that day. Who can blame her? So much change in one day for such a little baby. I am so happy to look at my girl today and see how much she has changed. She is a smiley, happy girl with so much spunk!!
Today we are all going out to lunch and just enjoy the day together. Everyone is off so there will be eleven of us going. Happy Family Day!

Here are some of our Gotcha Day photos from Nanchang.


Arriving at the airport in Nanchang

The crib in our room pre baby

So nervous, waiting for bus to Civil Affairs. It's really happening!

Door to Civil Affairs

First time we laid eyes on each other

Our baby girl

So beautiful, so quiet and scared

Getting to know each other

Could look at this picture all day, so sweet.

Our wonderful travel group, nine new families

A kiss before leaving Civil Affairs

Those little lips!!

First night in hotel

First laughs with Daddy with the  infamous stacking cups. They do work!

Settling down

Sleeping soundly and beautifully after a very long day.



How much Charlotte has changed in just a year, amazing!
