It is so hard to believe our 4th Family Day celebration is coming up so soon! Time sure does fly when you're having fun :) Miss Magic is up to so much these days. How time flies and things change SO much in four years. I will never forget the feelings I had 4 years ago as I packed and prepared to hold my baby girl and see her face to face! Thanks to an angel named Thuy and the sweet Nannies in the TQ orphanage, we had been receiving monthly (if not more) photos of our tiny miracle growing, crawling, sitting up & about 2 weeks before Jason & I boarded the plane to Vietnam, we received photos of her standing up with her head freshly shaven! That was the day I think I lost it. I cried (even harder that day) because I realized I was missing so much and I was so furious at the US Government for the ordeal we had been through...(ok I want to keep this cheerful so my rant is over :) After spending the entire day at her orphanage on her adoption day, I completely understood and appreciated her cute little buzz cut :) It made her look just like her daddy :)
Above are the photos I received 4 years ago in August, 2008.
Instead of packing for Vietnam...this year we are busy packing her bookbag for PreK :) God is good! She is SO full of herself and has a new nickname! It's "Flower Child" she has been coined "Flower" by her cheer coach Amanda. Here's the story....one day at cheer, Amanda was trying to teach HG's team "cheer lingo" so she went around asking each child, "are you a base or a flier" Miss Magic (who must have blonde roots) shouted out, "I'M A FLOWER!" She is SO hilarious and always finds a way to make people smile. I have said it before and I'll say it again...she continues to sprinkle her magic dust all around!
