Two Years as a Forever Family

On November 6, 2008 we celebrated 2 years as a family. We had a special dinner with fellow travel mates David and Lydia Byrne. The date fell on a Thursday this year so after we finished Kindermusic class (which the girls take together), we headed to dinner. They played and had a great time.

We began a tradition that we hope to continue forever. We take a family photo in a similar position as our first official family photo taken moments after we got Kate. Here are the photos in order.

And yes...Eddie and Christi are wearing the same clothes in all the photos. This may be the last year for it but we thought it was fun. In fact, I wore my shirt one day and Kate looked at me and said, "Mommy, your shirt!" and started rubbing my shoulders. The look on her face was amazing. It was like she actually remembered it from the first day we met.

Some days it seems like it was yesterday we were in China and others feel like it was so long ago. Kate is a true joy and we love our life with her. We're looking forward to the years ahead.
