Seven!

 


Seven years ago, we met this sweet face for the first time. We got to hold her in our arms and we worked so hard for a hint of a smile.

Today, just thinking about her brings a smile to our face, as there is usually a smile on her's.


She lights up our life and we can't really even remember our world before her.


Maggie is about to enter the 3rd grade. She does well in school and works hard in all that she does.



She loves to be with her family, play with her sister and just be at home.
Unfortunately, our family schedule doesn't really allow for much home time, but she handles any sport, any venue with grace. She has her bag packed and ready and just needs to know if this event is indoor or outdoor.


Maggie is thriving and we are so proud of her.



Maggie is inquisitive and asks all of the questions, all of the time. And you better give her the right answer or she will keep asking.
I know that her thirst for knowledge will serve her well in life.



While this is the highlight reel, and adoption comes with many layers, Maggie is a joy and being her parents is a true gift. We are so blessed to call her our daughter.
Happy Gotcha Day, Maggie Li Ya!
We love you so!
