Two years ago today we dropped the boys and the dogs off at my parents, said our goodbyes, headed to LAX and then boarded a plane to pick up our baby girl. This day 2 years ago was the beginning of a journey that changed our lives-- that brought us across a sea to finally meet the our baby girl that God had planned for us since before time began. I remember being so nervous but so excited. Lots of nerves- do I have everything- what if she cries constantly- will she shut down? Lots of nerves but totally overshadowed by the excitement of meeting our baby girl for the first time.
Saying our goodbyes to the boys. It was so hard leaving them but they got to watch us on our blog and every night we skyped and got to picture chat. It was fun for them to see us while in China and great for us to get to see them.
The final goodbye picture
At LAX waiving by to my sister Cass who was nice enough to drive us into LA (only actually 45 min drive with no traffic). Remember Kevin had broke his hip in February so he was still on crutches while in China. He actually climbed the great wall on crutches.

How fun to relive the memories and those feelings of what will she be like? I remember those same feelings with such clarity.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!!!!
Yours was the first blog I started following. I found it through RQ while you were in the middle of your trip about 3 months before our trip to China. I watched your videos over and over hoping that our experience would be just as magical.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 2 years with Mia and thanks for sharing a bit of your life with me!
