Thanksgiving 2012...

Wow, there is so much to be thankful for this year but at the top of the long list is that after 5 years and 362 days (who’s counting, lol) of waiting, Emily is finally home!

I have so many things to be thankful for - my husband, my daughter, the rest of my family and friends. I’m thankful for the people that God has put into my life; who have helped us get through not only the long winding international adoption road but life in general. I’m thankful for the good times, the bad times and the tough times that have brought me to this point in my life and helped me to continue to grow as a person. For all of the friendship, love, laughter, hugs (physical and cyber), shoulders shared, and tears - I thank each and every one of you from the bottom by heart. I am truly grateful for all of you!

 Emily and Mom

 Grandma Joanie, Papa Rich, Emily, Sam & Alyssa

I just love glasses of all kinds!

Lots of Catching Up to Do...

I know I am way behind on keeping this blog up to date. It's funny how times slips away when you have a toddler at home :o)

So once again here a couple of pictures until I can do some "catch up" posts...
