MiMi - Gotcha Day and Beyond!

Nanny at hotel on "Gotcha Day"
Our sweet one year old!

I love my life!

Flying my kite!

Cute!

Love the beach....

Looking forward to a First Friday!!

My last day of PreK 3!

Do you think Santa will bring me something wonderful!
I wish I had hours to put some pictures together, but...... well, tonight is MiMi's Gotch Day eve and we always feel this emotional ache as we celebrate her "gotcha day" and think of her birthmom and dad. To be honest we don't make a huge deal about "gotcha day", as her birthday is in a few weeks, but we have certainly had some great talks about this special day, she now has lots of questions and is beginning to ask and need much detail! So, this is good we love to see her begin unfolding these beginning days and months of her life. We want to say a BIG prayer for her birthparents, as this time of the year can be so difficult for them. We hope God will comfort them as only He can do as they wonder and possibly grieve over the loss of this precious angel. We love you all the way to the moon MiMi and are so proud of you. Happy "Gotcha Day"!!

Happy Gotcha Day MiMi! What a very special day Chapman family! How blessed your family is and we love watching your journey unfold!

Already there is a red thread with Hope for you to have your dossier over in China at the same time you were united with MiMi 4 years ago (Can you believe it's been that long????).
