Eliza Claire Day!!

It was one year ago today that the most amazing little sweet pea was placed into our arms in a very hot civil affairs building in Guangzhou, China!!

We had a photo shoot to celebrate this milestone by an awesome photographer, who just happens to be this sweet pea’s older sister. *Thanks, Kayla!!

I cannot even find the words that would convey the enormous blessing this last year has been for our family. It is simply beyond words.

We don’t remember life before you, Eliza Claire!

026

And we can’t imagine life without you either!

We love your confidence, baby girl! What a good helper you are! The little songs you sing! The giggles that come from your toes! How you always know exactly what you want! What a good eater you are! How brave you are and how many fears you have overcome! And how you do roll call each morning to make sure all your people are present and accounted for.

003

We are so grateful that the Lord filled us with love for you before we even met you! It was a deep love that never skipped a beat even when you were placed into our arms.

It is hard to believe it has already been a year! Yet it is hard to believe it has only been a year…..it seems like a lifetime.

Eliza released some balloons…..some love to send to China.
