Gracie Day October 30, 2007



Today, we celebrated having Gracie one full year. We read the book "I Love you like Crazy Cakes" many times over the last few days and talked alot about what happened a year ago. I asked her many questions, were you sad when we got you, were you mad, did you like the orphanage, did you like the plane ride, were you glad to get a mommy, daddy and brothers... She answered them all the same - dyea (her form of yes- with a d sound in front :o) She also would go get that book whenever we talked about it, so maybe she connects something! Joey, Gracie and I went to eat at a Chinese restaurant to celebrate (and also to celebrate Joey getting his drivers permit!!! :o):) Wade is in Boise, and Kirk is in Columbus OHio at a conference :o( We missed both of them today! But we are so very thankful what God has done over the past year. It is truly a miracle!
