Today is Gracie’s last day as a 1-year old! For me, this is bitter sweet...we’ve had too few days with Gracie as a 1-year old. I think back over the adoption process and how fast things moved and how we have seen God’s hand in this over and over again...I see how these 81 days with Gracie as a 1-year old is a very sweet and precious gift from our heavenly Father. A Father who cares about the smallest of details.
One year ago, on her first birthday, the orphanage was preparing Gracie's file so she could be adopted.
One year ago, we had our first home study visit....we were preparing our file so we could adopt.
Gracie very easily could still be in the orphanage. She could be spending her 2nd birthday in that crib.

Thankfully, Gracie is home....home for her first celebrated birthday....as she turns two. Thank you Jesus! We have been blessed with 81 joy-filled days with our precious daughter. These days have passed too fast. Today has been such a good reminder to cherish each and every moment….as these 81 days have truly been a gift from God.
