A Day To Celebrate!!!




It was exactly two years ago today that Addison was placed in our home.  It seems like she's been with us forever!!!  It was meant to be!!!  The moment we saw her we knew that she was our Daughter!!!  Such a surreal day.  We walked in as DINKS (double income no kids) and walked out parents of a beautiful baby girl.  I kept looking back as we were walking to the car to see if someone was going to follow us to make sure we were taking proper care of her.  We sure could have used the help!  This picture is of the moment we met, a little bittersweet.  She had just been taken from her caregiver, the only person she had known, she was a little confused.  The first night was a little rough, understandably.  After that everything felt pretty natural.  Hectic, but not difficult.  Sometimes LOVE does conquer all!!!!  WE LOVE YOU, ADDISON!!!!!

How lucky is that Baby Girl? And what lucky Dads, too. Kismet, it seems. Y'all look so very happy. Gary, I remember the day when your parents brought you home. You were so small and darling and your parents were similarly gleeful! xoxo

Gary how fortunate are you to Andy's son and now you are the proud parents of Addison. I am extremely happy to have been brought into your lives. I will cherish our friendshop always.
See you in 13 days but who's counting.
