What a difference ONE YEAR makes

It's been exactly one year that we've been a family of four.  Wow, I can't believe a whole year has gone by already.  Yesterday we celebrated by looking at pictures of videos of the girls when we picked them up.  There was a lot of "awww", "how cute", and "look at this" and of course, Emma had a ton of questions.  

Clothes that were baggy on them in those pictures now can barely be snapped shut.  Hearing Emma speak Chinese again delighted my soul.  Her language progression is nothing short of miraculous.  Elsie was such a tiny, skinny little thing.  When we picked her up, she drank formula from a bottle five times a day and ate a few crunchy things.  Now she eats whatever we give her, and hasn't had a bottle in three months.  

Here is a video from the day we picked up Elsie.  Emma brought a teddy bear to give her and I captured the interaction. 


They are sisters and we are a family.  One happy little family.

I stole this idea from my friend Ashley...Next year we'll print this picture and take a picture holding it and so on each year.
 The result is really cool!
