It is unbelievable how fast this year has gone by...as I was looking through the pictures of the day we got our Alice, just ONE year ago, my mind is baffled that she is the same child and emotions from that day and our time there all rush back...and it hurts and there is peace and I am flushed and I want to cry-happy tears-sad tears- and I am SO happy and I miss China and she is such a joy.....a thousand thoughts all over the board....SO many different emotions....I love this child. so bad it hurts sometimes. She has grown in my heart and it has EXPLODED. I want to post every detail, picture, video from our trip just so you can see what we have seen, this most beautiful transformation, but I think about it and I just can't...some of the pictures and video bring up so many emotions that I just can't bring myself to do it...it is so raw and private, but I want to shout it to the world: this was the most wonderful experience...SEE...
Here she is that very first day...so tiny and overwhelmed....
and here she is now...we are so blessed to be her parents...
