In Ahhhh

What a blessing each day brings:

waking up each day is so easy, knowing I have two beautiful children to spend time with. I found a newspaper clippng from our trip to China, Helen our guide had given it to us. It was the newspaper clipping of when Jie was found on the steps of SWI and the clipping was put in the found children section. It had stated her birthdate and said she had big eyes and a regular face. As I looked at the little face, I can hardly recognize this little face as our precious girl. I know that I have all of her future, but what I wouldn't give to know what she was like as a baby. I'm blessed with every minute of Trayjan's life.

I know not long from now, I will know Jie longer then I have not known her, which will be an amazing time to celebrate. I love how many times Trayjan's ask me about when he was born and I love to tell the story. Jie's story is different, but nontheless just as special. Jie looked at an album the other day with family pictures of Trayjan with mommy and daddy, and she broke my heart when she kept saying, "Where Jie go?". I kept telling her she wasn't home yet, but it just did not satisfy her, so i went to get the 1st family photo taken when she arrived home and added it to her little album. She was very content after I add it. The beautiful thing is she doesn't remember a time without us.

What shall we do with our lives, we can just sit idle and wonder where our time shall be spent, or we can enjoy each minute, creating a life for our families filled with laughter and memories.

We understand what you mean. Philip gets sad when he sees pictures of our life before his coming home. I liked it when you said that pretty soon you will have known her longer than not knowing her. That will be a happy day.
