The year in review


Hard to believe that it's already been 1 year since Jillian and I were brought together (March 27th to be exact). What an AMAZING year. So many changes for both of us. Wouldn't change a thing. She's so happy, so healthy, so well adjusted, so much good all brought together in one child. Some days I am thoroughly convinced that I am going to hug her to death.

April 6 is our next big date as that was the date we arrived stateside and she met her new Daddy and her new Grandmama. Oh and let's not forget her best friends during mealtimes, Luray and Halle.

I've posted some pictures that I think capture the dramatic changes over the past year.

The first time I saw her - March 27, 2007

Anne, I still love checking your blog and seeing photos! Yes indeed, what an amazing year! Jillian is just adorable and you both look so happy (of course!). I hope all is well in Ashevill - it sounds like it is! We are doing great in Charlotte. Shannon and I have still not gotten our girls together, but one of these days... Take care, May & Madeleine
