Happy 5th Anniversary of our LID!!!!

I have been very negligent about writing since we got home from China.  I have SO many things to share, but I devote every spare minute I have to Molly Kate, and I must say, I am LOVING it!!!!
Today is a special day for us, though, because it was five years ago on May 29, 2006 that we were officially logged in to adopt.  May 29 has been special for us each year since then, but we are so thankful to have the Molly Katherine Pierce we waited for in our arms this year as we celebrate!!!  We actually waited a little over five years for her from the time we began the adoption process, but we know with all our hearts and souls that she was DEFINITELY worth the wait!!!!  That's what I keep telling my friends who are still waiting for their precious China doll.  I may have mentioned this before, but I truly think we appreciate her more because we DID have to wait so long for her!!!  God had everything under control all along, and I'm so glad we were able to trust Him and truly believe that.

I hope to get caught up soon on entries I would like to add to this blog.  I also want to add pictures so you can all see how Molly Kate has truly bloomed in the three months we have had her.  Yesterday was our three month anniversary of her adoption.  It is unbelievable how much she has changed in those three months.  She doesn't even look the same---not that her physical features have changed that much.  She just has just come out of her shell!!!  She wakes up with a big smile on her face, and that smile is the last thing I see when I put her to bed every night.  Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, DEAR LORD for blessing us with this child!!!!!
