Today is a big day in Julianna's life, although she does not realize it. Today, she has been a part of our family for 22 months and one day. That means it is one day longer than she was in China. For the rest of her life, she will always be defined as a daughter and sister, someone who's family loves her very much and she will always be cherished.She and I celebrated with a trip to the mall. We went to her favorite store (the princess store, as she calls it) and she got to select an item, which of course, was a new dress and shoes. Then we looked for purple sandals and no other color would do. She actually passed up on buying shoes rather than settle for non-purple sandals. We ate at her favorite restaurant, the Golden Arches. I also purchased her a necklace for when she gets older to commemorate this day.
We are so very blessed to have her in our lives and today I am feeling very fortunate to be able to hang out with such a great kid.

It looks like she chose the Ariel ensemble? Very nice. Think you have a future clothes horse on your hands? LOL Does it even seem real that you've had her that long?
Grandma read this and tears came into my eyes. When the Bible speaks of the Lord pouring out blessings on us to the point that our cup runs over, I know one of those blessings is grandchildren. What joy they bring to us - so much that it can't be measured. Love, Grandma
What a fabulous way to celebrate such a special day. And a fabulous outfit, too. :) God bless you guys. Thank you for sharing each new memory and event in your lives with us.
