One year ago today we sent in our Letter of Intent to adopt Kate. After years of waiting, we finally had a face to put with our daughters name. We had three pictures of her, a 10 second video, and about 10 pages of medical information. She was described as being "extroverted, active and pretty". That is all we knew about our little girl. And now, a year later, we know what time she wakes up, what she likes for breakfast, what her favorite toys are, what her favorite thing to wear is, what her voice sounds like, how strong her hugs are, how cute her lips are when they pucker to kiss you, how easily she gets upset if she thinks you are leaving, how happy she is every single time she wakes up, how much she loves to sing, how much she loves to talk, how she LOVES to be the center of attention, how social she is- so much so that I have to roll her window down every time we go to Chick-fil-A so she can say "hello" to the people working there, how excited she gets - jumping up and down and saying "I am so happy" -when she finds out we are going somewhere that she loves- like to music class or to see her friends, how she loves to be neat and tidy, how cute her little laugh is, how contagious her personality is. I can't believe a year has passed since Kate entered our life. We love you so very much Peanut and can't imagine life without you. Thank you for letting us be your mom, dad, and big brother. As your Daddy would say- You are AWESOME!!
