I remember wanting to adopt for about 4 years prior to the time we actually brought Lily into our lives. I also remember the overwhelming feeling of "that's my girl" the first time I saw her pretty little baby face. Above are the first pictures we ever saw.
Below are pictures of our first moments together. She had such a frightened look on her face. I admit I was hogging her, so that's why there aren't many pics of Kenny with her. He did get his chance, although it took Lily quite a long time to warm up to him (like a year). Now she calls out, "I want my Daddy!" any time she is scared.
This little girl has added so much to our family. We can't imagine life without her!
OK I cried through all of those pictures.. What a hard, sad, beautiful, amazing, time. I feel so blessed to walk through that time with you. Those pictures are beautiful. I miss you...
ReplyDeleteOh, Just seeing these from a few weeks ago. How precious! Isn't it amazing to see how baby-like she was? She is beautiful and such a gift! Congratulations!
