One year with Annabel


It has been so special spending our one year anniversary of receiving Annabel here in China. I cannot believe she has been with us for an entire year. Time goes too fast and it has taught us to value each and every day with our children. All to soon they will be grown and gone. My favorite new song is "Cinderella". I am sure it is true for many of you as well. It just reminds me each day is a gift and not to spend too much time worrying about what the future holds but rather to enjoy the day God has given me. We love you precious Annabel. You have blessed our lives more then you will ever comprehend. I thank God every day for you and I am so grateful that your China mama did such a kind act of love by making it possible for us to raise you. Thank you for loving us back unconditionally.
