We built a snowman family to announce
that our family was expecting to adopt a little girl. We had no idea
who that girl would be. Across the world, on this very same cold
morning, she was born.

Our daughter's first birthday. Our
paperwork was delayed, and our agency wouldn't allow us to send a
cake or gifts until we had formal approval from China to adopt our
sweet Iris. There was cake, a candle, a couple of gifts, and an
empty chair here at home. There were tears, a lot of tears, and a
longing to hold our sweet baby and tell her how treasured she was
already.

There aren't enough words to describe what a difference a year makes. So, I'll borrow some, and let the pictures do the talking....
Proverbs 13:12
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is
a tree of life.”

Pure joy.
Beauty.
Gifts.
Togetherness.
Celebration.
Happy 2nd birthday, sweet daughter!
