Celebrting our 3rd Forever Family Day

 Enjoying our "traditional" Chinese dinner at the Dragon Express

 Mama and Papa arrived today just to help celebrate

 Our beautiful China doll with her "Gotcha Day" gift
It is so hard to realize Carissa Joy-Le (Yue Qiaole) has been home with her "forever family" three years now.  What a fun three years it as been.  She has gone from a little scared one year old to a blossoming preschooler.  She is becoming more and more independent wanting to do most everything "herself".  She now tells me I am not a little baby anymore, I am a "big girl".  As much as I love watching her grow and mature, I am a little sad she is a little baby or toddler anymore.
