2 Years ago today Ted and I walked into an orphanage in Vung Tau, Vietnam where 2 of the most precious little girls in the world were placed in our arms.
The time has flown by, the girls have brought us all so much joy that is so hard to put into words. They have become such happy, loving and beautiful little girls.
Here are the very first pictures we ever saw of the girls, our referral pictures.
This was taken at our adoption hearing in Vietnam just an hour after we had recieved the girls.
These were shortly after also.
Look at that face, it melts a mama's heart.
One year ago, last July 9, 2008.

July 9, 2009. Today we had to wait for the phone company to come out and fix our phone so the girls and I just had a lazy, fun day.
They helped make chocolate chip cookies with me.
We made homemade play doh. You throw everything in a pot and cook on the stove, takes maybe 5 minutes!

Hannah & Hailey. These two are really close, they truly care and love each other and don't like to be apart much.
After dinner we went and fed the ducks then took the girls to Dairy Queen for ice cream sundaes. What a great day we had!

Happy 2 years together! I can't believe it's been that long. loved looking back at all of the pictures.
I was so hoping to get down your way when we are Disney next week, but it's just not in the cards this time. I am dying to meet Taylor!
I did not realize we were adopting at the same time in two different countries. :) Congrats to you!!! Our Gotcha day was to be 7/9/07 but was a day early. Happy 2 years!!!!
Congratulations on two years with Hannah and Hailey!! What an amazing story-- I didn't know you adopted them at the same time! :)
Congrats on 2 amazing years with your girls. I love that they are so close. Great to see the pictures over time. My you do dress all your darlings so beautifully but more importantly you can see all three are smothered in love and obviously happy! Very touching! Vung Tau does have pretty babies! ;0)
Congrats!!! GOD is good!
Congratulations......2 years! I just found your blog and LOVE it! Your girls are precious and I love the way you dress them. My husband and I have biological children and have recently adopted 2 girls from Guatemala who are 9 months apart so I know how busy you are, lol. I can't imagine throwing one more to the mix, but you never know. ;-) I wouldn't mind a bit though!
Nice pictures:) Congrats on the 2 year milestone!
Has it really been 2 years?! I remember following your journey in Vietnam--I can't believe that's been 2 years ago! Congratulations!
The girls are all beautiful and it looks like they are having a fun summer! :-)
Happy Forever Family Day!! What cuties!
