There she is! That chubby cheeked baby-girl we first saw in this photograph in January, 2003. Two months later we would hold her in our arms for the first time on March 2, 2003. Gotcha Day!

10 years later! Hard to believe!! Lin-Ley still proudly revels in her special day and we still pick her up and tell her "Gotcha!!"

March 3rd is adoption day. We were officially a family on 3/3/03. This morning Lin-Ley gladly smiled for the camera and her other special day.
We love you big girl. So hard to believe it has been 10 years already!
