The Little's Plane Day

I started this post on Monday and here it is Saturday already. I need to start making my blog a bit more of a priority. As it is a journal of sorts of our family life, I need to work on it more.

Monday was the Little's 3rd Plane Day. Three years! How the time has flown by and how much we have all changed.

Here is the first photo we took of our whole family that day when we were at the airport. The Littles were all so tiny and serious looking. We weren't sure what to expect and I guess that was a good thing in many ways.

We have walked each day as best we could, learning as we go about each other, about life as an adoptive family bringing in older children and siblings. It certainly has not been boring, each day has been full of new challenges and blessings.

Here is a picture we took on Monday. Quite a bit different. They have grown so much and are so happy and healthy. They continue to adjust well to life in our family and we to having them with us. We are making a lot of memories and each year brings remembrances of things we have already done. I am finding that to be one of the most significant bonding things, shared memories of family experiences.

I wonder what this year will hold for us. We always try to be open to God's plan and be willing to follow his lead. It is never the same and we are always surprised in one way or another.

And because the children always want to show the "real" us, one one photo...
