FOREVER FAMILY DAY!!!!!!!!

I cannot beleive it, but we are celebrating our Forever Family Day -- 1 whole year with Brayden!!! The past year has been so amazing. We have received blessings on top of blessings, and this truly has been the best year EVER!

One year ago, Michael and I stood in the hotel lobby anxiously awaiting to be re-united with our son forever. I stared at the doors. . . then I grabbed Michael's arm and said, "I see Frida. Who is that fat, bald baby?" It was my Mynor! From that moment on, our lives were forever better and we were a Forever Family!!!!!

Krystal,

Happy first Gotcha Day anniversary! How wonderful and how fast time goes. I cannot believe Savannah will be 1 next month.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your beautiful memories! I loved it and it brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart!

Love,
Carrie and Savannah

WOW, one year!! Amazing how time flys. I love the video. Brayden is so adorable.

That slide show brought tears to my eyes too. So many wonderful memories in the past year for you guys and many, many more in the coming years. I bet now it's hard to imagine your life with just you and Michael. Calvin and I do that sometimes and realize how boring it would be! Congratulations on your Forever Family Day anniversary. Soon you'll be a family of four!
