Happy Referral Day!


One year ago today we first laid eyes on our little girl and fell in love. Actually, we were in love with her before we even saw her picture, but this was the day she became a reality and not just a dream. This was the little girl who was halfway across the world that was chosen for us. She was born in our hearts, and our hearts were so full and overjoyed that we were one step closer to completing our family.

This can not be the same girl that was in those referral pictures. That girl looked lost and lifeless. Kamryn has a twinkle in her eye that is so obvious. She is fun and mischievous with alot of spunk. This was picture number 15 . . . trying to get her to sit still holding this picture looks like it might have been easy but it was not by far. Only until little miss monkey decided she had tortured mom enough is when she finally sat down for me. Just look at that grin! You can read her mind. But I can read her heart too, and I totally melt when she comes up to me to give me a big open mouth kiss or a quick little eskimo kiss. We're all completely blessed to have each other. Thank God that miracles do happen.

Congratulations! One year has gone by so quickly. Boy has she grown. Looking back at her pictures from when you were still in China to seeing her now is amazing. That wonderful disposition was always there though. But wait, is there another side and you just didn't take pictures of it?? No, I don't think so. She is a breath of fresh air and such a joy!! Every day just gets better, doesn't it.

Thanks for the picture - it was worth all you had to go through to take it.

Love,

Lin

I can't believe it was a year ago already. It seems like yesterday, but it also seems like Kamryn was in our lives forever. I can't imagine what it would be like without her. She is such a joy. We have to much to look forward to with her. I love seeing her play with her babies and love her little giggle when we play with her.
Please give Kamryn and her big brothers a big kiss and hug for me.
Love ya, Mom
