ONE YEAR AGO TODAY!
One year ago today our sweet Paisley was handed to us in a hotel conference room in Nanchang China. Our little girl had been taken from her foster family the day before and was scared, shocked, traumatized and anxious, so much so that she scratched her legs so badly that you couldn't see skin under all the blood! While it was a happy and long awaited day for our family, it was also possibly one of the most traumatic days Paisley will ever experience. She clung to her little green and yellow plastic pickle for dear life...her only link to her foster family.
Today we celebrated the day Paisley was united with our little family, ONE YEAR people...ONE WHOLE YEAR! We also remembered her foster family and are so thankful for the love and affection they showed our little girl for her first 10 months.
Paisley is an extremely sweet and trusting child, she loves hugs and kisses and snuggles.
She adores Charlie & Lola, Olivia the Pig and Peppa Pig!
She can sing 80% of twinkle twinkle little star.
She loves shoes, especially her bright pink cowgirl boots and a patent red and white pair of "Olibia" ballet shoes.
She loves hairbows and clippies.
She loves pony tails, and if Daddy calls them "piggies" she corrects him "ponies"
She loves her Daddy, Mummy & Sister...and her "dog" and she tells us all at least 50 times a day "luv you"
She is shy in public and rarely speaks in new company, but talks up a storm at home.
She loves sleeping with her sister...they now share 'Piper's' full sized bed...and LOVE it!
She eats anything.
She is almost potty trained!
She loves being as fancy as possible and will refuse to wear something if it is not pink!
She can take your breath away with a smile.
She is truly amazing.

Wow!! That year flew by! Paisley has blossomed so beautifully, wrapped in your family's love for her!
Happy Paisley Day! (not sure what you are calling it). It's so hard to believe it's been a year already which means our time is coming. It's an honor and a pleasure to watch your family grow and I DO love the accent. It's much better than mine :-)

Oh honey, Paisley is truly amazing. You were going to make me cry when I read the top part but I got so happy reading the bottom part. She was meant to be your daugher and what an absolute joy your pretty princess is. You and Mike are so lucky to have such wonderful daughters. Happy one year. Seems like just yesterday you got her referral. I hope the next year holds fun new surprises and even more laughter and joy (if that's possible). Love you guys!
Hugs,
Jonni
