Easter Through The Years

For those of you who don't have a personal interest in my family, I beg you to forgive my trip down memory lane.  These photos will never grow old to me and I love to see the progression of time.

Dan and I waited many, MANY years (over 13) to be parents and when God gifted us with this little bundle through the gift of adoption, we couldn't be more excited, thankful or pleased!  His plan was perfect all along and we love this parenting journey we are on.
