Gotcha Day!

It's hard to believe that a year has past since the arrival of Jailin. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little girl in our lives. It's been a heartwarming day and yet in another sense a touch of sadness. We have been reflecting on our gratefulness towards Jailin's birthmother and foster mom. We will be forever grateful for their influence and love.

On a more fun note, we went to Chinatown and Navy Pier to celebrate her day. We were joined by our second family, Megan, Andy, and Mason. It was a great day and it will forever be a wonderful memory for us all.


A year ago, we were waiting until 9am for Jailin to arrive.


Our first glimpse of Jailin. It breaks my heart to see how sad she was.


Our first glimpse a year later. It is so heartwarming to see the difference.

We went to Chinatown to celebrate Jailin's special day. Mason and Jailin had fun with chopsticks and bubble drinks.





My first bubble drink, doesn't it have the coolest straw?
