6 years Ago Today....

a beautiful little girl was placed in my arms in Guangzhou, China. It's hard to believe that she has been with us for 6 years already. She has been such a blessing to us and still continues to bring us joy everyday. Today she is a happy 6 year old. She's in 1st grade this year and doing well in School. She is also a little social butterfly and has lots of friends. She is very active in dance and gymnastics. She is very fit for being only 6 and that is due to all the time she spends at the gymnastics gym in preparation for competing next year.

To celebrate her special day, our travel group is having a little special outing for all of the girls in the Chicago area (most of our travel mates live in near Chicago) this Saturday. They will be riding a pink limo to a place called Sweet and Sassy for some pampering (including makeup, nails polished, hairdos and more) ! M is so excited to do this and can't wait until this weekend. She just loves anything to do with makeup and such so this activity is just up her alley!

Below are some photos of her 6 years ago and some of her today. I'm also adding a little slide show that I made last year of all of her early years. It's amazing how much she has changed over the years and how she is becoming quite the beautiful little lady today! Happy Family Day Dear M! We Love You!!
