Maria celebrated her 2nd Forever Day on December 15th. We celebrated by going out to dinner anywhere that Maria wanted to go. She emphatically declared that she wanted pizza, so pizza it was! We had a great time enjoying Maria's day, and our day as a family.
As I think about the day that Maria came home it brings back such vivid memories. Dave and I traveled to Guatemala extremely excited to get our little girl home so everyone that had been waiting so long to meet her could finally get to know our precious little one. As excited as we were, I don't think either of us knew just how much this one little girl was going to change our lives, we no longer were living for us, we now lived for her!
Maria has grown so much...she really is amazing. She is smart, stubborn, quick witted and extremely vocal! She knows exactly what she wants and she isn't afraid to let you know. She speaks as much with her eyes as she does with her voice. Her giant almond shaped eyes can melt a warlocks heart.
When I think about the past 2 years I am torn. In some respects I think, wow was that only 2 years ago...it seems like she has been a part of my life forever. At other times I think wow...that 2 years really went quickly and it seems like just yesterday that we stepped off that plane to waiting friends and family eager to meet our little princess.
Here are a couple of photo's of Mama's Sweet Angel (as Maria calls herself)...OK...I taught her that and prod her to say it a dozen times a day! One from a couple of weeks ago and one from the night we came home...December 15th 2006.
Happy Forever Day Maria Rene...I love you more than I can comprehend!
