ONE YEAR LATER

Posted by DEBRA at 12:44 PM

It was one year ago today that we saw the girls for the first time. It has gone by so fast. They have grown so much over the past year. Denaye has gained 15lbs and has grown 5 inches in height. Her shoe size was an 8 and now it's an 11. Maya has gained 18lbs and has grown 5inches as well. Her shoe size was an 11 and is now a size 2. There has been a lot of change in them over the past year and they have truely become a part of our family. Maya is starting grade 1 on Sept 2 and is very excited to be going to school all day!! We'll see how long that lasts. Denaye will start preschool, but I don't have a date yet on that. Life just keeps on keeping on......we look forward to the next years to see where our journey leads us. Right now we are just happy being a family of 8......

    Wow, it's great to see that video again and remember what they were like a year ago. They've come so far. Now they are confident and secure, knowing they are loved. I miss them and their hugs. Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary.

    Love Renée

    I can't believe how much they have changed! They hardly look like the same girls in the video! Happy One Year!

    Just amazing how fast they grow... I was looking at the video below with Maya and the shaving cream / soap and it's obvious how much she has grown - the language, her confidence, - just wonderful.

    A year - wow.
