Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!






























Wow! What a great year it has been! We had a lovely time with so many family members visiting but it went by all too quickly. Haylee got in the Christmas spirit fast and loved opening her presents. She is at such a fun age for all of this. So humbling to think back about Christmas time the last few years and how desperately I wanted this child. Feeling so overwhelmed at the emotion of finally having her here and watching her face light up on Christmas day. So happy to see all of my kids together but still a empty place where my sweet Ava belongs. I have great hopes for 2010 and can't wait to see what joy it brings! Happy New Year to you all!

  3. Happy New Year! Thanks for your wonderful supportive comments! We are living in the moment right now and sometimes I can't believe we have her home safe and sound. What peace of mind to finally have her home. Did you feel that way?
