Today we hit 10 months together as a family. Tomorrow, November 13 is the day that we received our Letter of Acceptance from China officially stating Liliah was ours! This is a picture taken of her that day at her foster family's home.

10 Things We Love About Her.........

She ours....what a gift
Her resilient spirit
Her sense of humor.....she makes us laugh and knows it!
Her giggles
Easy going and willing to try new things
Her long eye lashes & rose bud lips
She sleeps 12 hours a night since we arrived home from China
She takes a 2-3 hour nap every day
Her teenie tiny self
She loves to be with us
