Happy GOTCHA DAY Mayli!

I can't believe it has been one year since Mayli came into our family. She is now speaking english and in kindergarten. When I ask her how her day was as she gets off the bus, she says with a smile PERFECT mom, perfect! She is such a sweet little girl and I am so blessed to be her mama! I pray almost daily that I can be a good mom, a mom that meets the individual needs of my children. Each time I pray that, God assures me in small subtle ways that He will compensate for my many imperfections. Look for pictures of our Family Gotcha Day celebration this week!





Mayli came right up to me and said Wo Ai Nie mama...I love you mama!
