One Year Later

Tonight it makes one year since Barbie and Julia arrived at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and what a great year it has been.

We continue to be so thankful for the opportunity to get a chance to add this wonderful child to our family. We have grown to learn much more about who Julia Binh An is. She is smart, funny, cheerful, bossy, and so much fun to have around the house. We wouldn't recognize life without her.

I doubt anyone will check this blog to see this post, but I wanted to take a moment and memorialize the overwhelming feeling of thanks that I have to the Creator for the gift of my family. And I also want to express gratitude to my friends and family (ok, so some of my family are also friends) for friendship and love.

Maybe I'll post something new in another year.

Peace,

Doug

p.s. If this post is the first one that you have read, the previous posts (from Nov. 2007 through January 2008) chronicle our family's trip to Vietnam to welcome a new daughter and sister to our family.
