happy gotcha day to us

3 years ago today we met our 3 beautiful children. It was the end of a long journey and the beginning of a very different long journey. Both journeys were stressful and exciting and hard, and we wouldn't trade either for anything in the world.

Tonight we will celebrate the anniversary of our first day as a family. We will set our mouths on fire with Liberian food. We will watch the video from the orphanage that day. We will look through all our pictures of Liberia. We will take a family photo and compare it to last year's photo and the year before that and our very first family photo ever.

I'll get back on to post the family photos later, but for now here are a few random pictures from our first few minutes with each of our kids.
