FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY
I just cannot believe it's been four years already! On October 31st 2005 a little girl from Northern Guangdong Province was placed into our arms in Guangzhou. Our forever family day...'Piper Day'.
The past four years have been a whirlwind, so much joy, so many challenges. We are so proud of who you are, Piper Lily, we love you to the moon and back and then some.
What a bright, sassy and confident little lady you have become!

Happy Forever Family Day!

What a beautiful girl she has grown into.

Hey, I wonder if Piper and my niece are from the same orphanage? Those pictures look strangely familiar to me.

E-mail me!

Girl, are you trying to make me cry???? She is just as cute as can be and we hope she has a wonderful 4 year family day. She just keeps getting cuter and cuter if that is at all possible.

Happy 4 year family day Piper!

Hugs,
