Happy Gotcha Day, E!

Today marks the 8 year anniversary of the day E, my oldest daughter, was placed in my arms. She will turn 9 next month and is turning into a beautiful young lady. I could not have asked for a more caring, tender spirit in a daughter.

This is my first glimpse of E via an email picture. It was love at first sight!


Of course, digital camera were still fairly new and expensive at the time of my first 2 trips to China, so many of my early pics of E were taken with a good old fashioned camera and 35mm film. I finally upgraded to digital after I came home with O. E was 3 at the time.












And look how she has grown! A more beautiful rose has never bloomed that is as sweet and pure as my precious little E.
