A year ago today

A year ago today we saw Maida's sweet face for the first time. It was Easter morning and we were all getting ready for church. My mom was not expecting an email anytime soon about a referral (we actually thought we had quite some time yet) and there was no other reason for her to get on the computer and check her mail, but that's exactly what she did.

The first email in her inbox was from our agency and was titled "Happy Easter"!" My mom was sure it was just a generic email they sent out but opened it anyway. She was rewarded with "IT"S A  GIRL!" Written in bold text with an attachment of her referral photo (plus a few).

 

 

We were all so excited that we not only got to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, but also the addition of a new daughter and sister!

I can't believe it has already been a year, a year since this girl entered our lives from an ocean away and now we will get to spend many many more years together, growing together as family and sisters. I heart you Maida!
