Karsynn's first birthday party was amazing. We had 30+ people in our house, and at one point in time, I thought our house was big enough...NOT! Karsynn was able to play with lots of new friends, including Kailee and CJ, her China sisters. It warmed my heart to see those three beautiful girls together. Here are a few more pictures to enjoy!
Wow, these past two months have flown by. As of today, we've been home two full months and Karsynn is 11 mo. old today. She has blossomed like a little spring flower over the past two months. It's the most unbelieveable thing I've ever witnessed. It's as if she has always been a part of our family. She is loved by so many people and we are so very blessed. I'm including a picture from when we first got her and a recent one. Just look at the change in her.
Here are just a few professional photos that we've had taken of Karsynn since we've been home. Karsynn is doing wonderful, except for the sleep thing, which she just can't seem to figure out. Whew! Mommy and Daddy are quite exhausted, but she's worth every minute of it. She's saying, "Mama," "Daddy," "Gee Gee, which is Bentley," and "I Good." She waves bye bye, loves to watch cartoons and will eat ANYTHING you give her. She's such a good girl. She turns 11 months old tomorrow.
I've learned a very valuable life lesson lately...Enjoy every single moment of life and surround yourself with others who do. Life is so short and every moment is so precious. I have a new outlook on life. I've always known how very blessed Troy and I are, but I didn't realize just how blessed we truly are. To those of you who visit our blog daily, weekly, or monthly...THANK YOU! I hope it brings a smile to your face, a good feeling to your heart, and hope to those who wait.
To My Sweet Girl,
I love you all the way up to the moon, all the way down to the bottom of the ocean and all the way around the world!
My husband and I began our quest to adopt a Chinese daughter in March 2005. We traveled to China from July 26-August 12 to bring our Karsynn home forever. Our lives are forever changed. We are so blessed.
