Happy Birthday Mia!

Our sweet girl has been home since Feb. 2013.

I am amazed at the progress she has made in only 20 months!

One more time!

Who's birthday is it?

We met our darling daughter when she was 11 yrs and 3 months old.

Her shirt says it all!
"Love is all you need!"

She had not received any of the gifts, pictures or letters that we had sent to her.

She was not prepared to meet her new parents and family.

It was a struggle for her- Bless her Heart!

And now she is blossoming!

She is doing so well and we are so proud of her!

Once again the crowd(that would be family) gets closer!

I love the bond that these two have formed!

It has made it so much easier for Mia to adjust to all that is new!

And the crowd just keeps getting closer and closer!

She is a princess and a true blessing to us!

And these two... sit near the parents ALWAYS!

Partners in crime!

Happy Birthday Mia!

She is taking horseback riding lessons now and absolutely loves it!

Mia will be getting braces in the future.

Her orthodontist does not feel that she is 13 yrs old. 

Her lower 12 yr old molars should erupt in about 6-12 months but the uppers have a long long way to go...

All our other children have had their 12 yr old molars coming in within 6-8 months of their birthdays.

We sometime wonder how old she really is?

He thinks she is 12 yrs old at best.

The endocrinologist says 12 also... but then she also says plus or minus 6 months...

Sometimes it makes me sad for the lost information.

These kids deserve to know more...

Ava is a very witty and cheerful girl!

She has now claimed the princess crown!

This cake is exactly what Mia ordered!

Good job Sarah!

Happy Birthday Mia!
I love how happy Sarah is for Mia!

Happy Birthday to YOU!
We are blessed to have you in our family!
