Match Day {7 years}

7 years ago today.....we got the call and saw our 1st  photo of She Ya He.  I cried so hard when I saw that sweet face and little pout.  I couldn't wait to jump on a plane to China!  

We started the process in 2003 and we knew we would be making a difference in the life of a little girl, that's obvious, but we had no idea what a difference she would make in our lives.  She is such an amazing girl.  She's proud to be Chinese and seems to understand that although she wasn't born into this family, she's just as much a part of it.  I hope she always feels this way. 

She has the best outlook and attitude on everything.  She is definitely, "the glass is half-full" kind of person.  She skips and sings everywhere she goes and often has insightful wisdom beyond her 7 years.  
We are the lucky ones for sure!  We are blessed beyond measure to call Lucy our daughter and sister!

Happy Match Day!
