Big birthday girl!

On a day that everyone is thinking about the horrible things that happened on 9/11, we are celebrating what we were given on 9/11.
The birth of a baby girl on the other side of the world. A baby girl that would change our lives!
I'll never forget when they handed her to me for the first time. This teeny tiny, quiet baby girl. I couldn't get over how small her little hands were, and how light she was. She was perfect in every way!


Now, nearly 2 years later, we are celebrating her 3rd birthday!
One she surely wouldn't be celebrating if she was still in her orphanage.
She continues to grow and learn, and soon will be starting pre school!
And she continues to change our lives with her smiles and her giggles!


Happy Happy birthday to our beautiful Ukrainian Princess Arina!!
