Gotcha Forever!

First Gotcha Day- May 30th, 2008

Forever Family Day, June 12th, 2008

First full day home (we actually landed just before midnight on June 11th, but we don't really count that!)

Has it really been three years?  This year, we stuck with tradition and set-up/filled the pool in the backyard, just like we did on the very first day all 6 of us were finally together.  Thank goodness the weather cooperated :0)  The kids had a blast together and we topped off our celebration with a cookout and cupcakes... YUM!
The miracle of C being here with us never escapes me... I always get a little teary-eyed when I think of our journey.  It hasn't always been easy, but I wouldn't change a single detail of the road we have traveled to get here.
We're so glad you're here Dimka-Doodle!!!!!!!!!  We love you so very much!!!!!!!!



Oh my goodness... they were SO little!



Three whole years later...my big boy still loves being in command of the hose.  Still sticks his tongue out too... just like the very first day he ever got ahold of that thing!

The kids just LOVE to play in the pool while it is filling up!
