Gotcha Day

It is so hard for us to believe, but yesterday was Evelyn's first Gotcha Day celebration. For the life of us, we can't remember where the past year has gone! At 11:15, Rob called home to ask if I remembered what we were doing at that very moment one year ago. We were holding our little angel for the first time in LAX. When I think back to the moment we first saw and held her, I am overcome with the same emotions all over again. I remember how tiny she was and the smile that came over her face when she saw us. Fast forward to one year later, and that same sweet smile is there (only with some teeth now). We celebrated the occasion with our good friends, the Paynes, at Han Gook Kwan; which is a local Korean restaurant. Evelyn enjoyed eating the sprouts and dak bulgogi. Afterwards, we headed over to the Asian Market to buy some sweet treats. Our final stop for the night was for some ice cream. Evelyn shared some with her Daddy. As I watch her toddle around, I say a prayer of thankfulness for God allowing us to be her parents. We are so blessed to have this sweet miracle in our lives. Happy Gotcha Day, Evelyn!
