Happy Family Day!

One year ago today, we met Evie for the first time!

Our first picture of Evie was her referral picture:

This was sent in an update, and I was so happy to see it:

Then, it was finally time to really meet Evie...

We had been in China for less than 24 hours. After a sleepless night and a nervewracking bus ride to the adoption center, we had to fill out paperwork and wait for what felt like hours... then I saw one of the most beautiful sights of my life:

It was so wonderful to finally be all together.

I think we are the luckiest family in the world!
