Gotcha Day/Mother's Day

O and Mama May 2010. O still has the same smile she did 6 years ago. It is like a little burst of sunshine!



O and Mama in Wuhan, Hubei May 2004



Six years ago on Mother's Day I sat in a HOT, unair-conditioned civil affairs office in Wuhan, Hubei, China waiting for my second daughter to arrive. O joined our family on May 9, 2004. It was a very special Mother's Day that year. This is the first time since that hot, steamy afternoon that Mother's Day and O's Gotta Day have fallen together. Such a special day. I am so glad that O is my daughter. She has blossomed in these last 6 years and has grown in beauty and grace.


How blessed I am to be the mother of these three sweet girls!
