2 years ago....

Today we are celebrating Asia-Faith being in our family for 2 years!

2 years ago today, we boarded a train, headed for Taitung to go and meet our precious little girl for the first time...

It is amazing to watch her grow and become the little person she is...although we have come to realise that she has quite a tiger in her tank...Even the boys have commented that she is going to be a toughie when she gets older - no-one will want to mess with her! And she is quite the performance artist too....I think those little performances may get her an Oscar or 2 one day.

Then she has her gentile, loving side, where she wants to hug everyone, and calls her brothers "my boys"...and herself "mommy's baby, and daddy's baby"... she is such a sweet little girl...and I am so blessed to be her mommy.

Lately she has been talking a lot about where she was born and knows she was born in Taiwan, and her boys were born in South Africa, that the boys grew in my belly, and she grew in her birthmom's belly...She loves to look at the album I made for her with photo's of our forever family day, and listen to me telling the story about the day we brought her home...

Often these talks will lead to her talking about our little foster baby Doodlebug her friends Jade and Ben and their new little brother Daniel, all of whom she knows have also been adopted...I have a feeling there will be plenty more questions and little talks in time to come...

Enjoy the pics of our little fairy~princes....

She is too adorable! Not sure if you really check this anymore, but I wanted to let you know that I have loved reading through some of your old posts...my husband and I are starting our own international adoption journey, so it is exciting for us to read blogs who have been there, done that!

Happy New Year,
Future Mama
