The girls have been having so much fun roasting marshmallows!! They love when daddy starts a fire in the fire pit so they can have marshmallows. I love these pictures!!

I love how she holds her roasting stick!!

Home One Year!!

One year ago today I held our daughter Lottie for the very first time!! She was so scared and sad. My heart broke watching the fear in her eyes. She has brought us so much JOY!! We are so blessed to have her in our family! Thank you God for this little treasure!!

LOOK AT HER NOW!!!

We Love you Lottie Mei!!!
