We celebrated Leah's Gotcha Day today. She came home a year ago, five days after her 5th birthday. She is such an outgoing, beautiful little girl now. What a difference a year makes!

Yesterday was Leah's 6th birthday. On Monday she took cupcakes to school to celebrate with her class and today she had some of her friends over to our house for a party. A year ago today Mike was checking her out of the orphanage in Ethiopia. At that time she wouldn't speak to anyone even when they spoke Amharic to her. Today she is a happy, joy filled girl with lots of friends at school. She absolutely loves school and spending time with her friends there. The progression in her English is incredible. She is very smart and has so many questions. At times I think she knows more than I do. We are very blessed to have her come into our lives and are thankful for the beautiful little girl that we now call our daughter.
