One year ago today....

My Call to Love: A Thanksgiving to Remember!: (click to read)

Remembering one year ago tonight...when we first saw Florie's face....and realized SHE was to be our DAUGHTER. It seems so long ago, and it seems like yesterday.

Our first look....11 months old

To our first update when 17 months old

To our spunky LT now at almost 29 months old

Whom we have known for 7 months now

Orphans are easier to ignore before you

 know their names. They are easier to 

ignore before you see their faces. It is

 easier to pretend they're not real before

 you hold them in your arms. But once 

you do, everything changes. 

--David Platt Radical

How true. An orphan no more.  Her name is Florie, and she is well loved.  She loves well too.  Praises and thanks to GOD for connecting us, ONE YEAR AGO.
