5 YEARS AGO WE WERE OFF ON A PLANE AROUND THE WORLD!

Caroline,
5 years ago today your Aunt Amy and I boarded a plane around the world to arrive in Bishkek Kyrgyzstan to welcome you to our family.  It was a long journey with a few stressful moments but my life changed forever.  Caroline - you were the start of my dreams come true - you made me a mom which I am so thankful for.  I love you so much my sweet girl!  I can't imagine life without you.  God's plan was for us to be mother and daughter.  I will love you and protect you for all of my life!  xoxoxoxo - Mommy

GABRIELLA STARTED PRESCHOOL

Wow, one in kindergarten and now my baby in preschool.  How and when did this happen?  I just held them in my arms as little babies, changed diapers, rocked them to sleep (okay, I still do that with Gabby - can you say SPOILED).

Gabriella,
My baby.  I am so proud of you and can't believe that you are ready for Miss Christie's 3 year old preschool.  I know that you will follow in Caroline's footsteps and make us all so proud.  You sweet, loving, smart, angel that you are.

I love you so!
Mommy
