3 Years...it seems like yesterday

Miaya's tribute to Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair"
Yes, it does seem like yesterday...we actually had weather today in southwest Iowa that was very reminiscent of our day in Nanning, China. Our annual photo shoot took place just a few minutes ago...she has grown so much, but still fits in her outfit that she came from the orphanage in. We then looked at "her" video as she calls it. It was the video we played before she was dedicated at our church...the music is rather haunting to me. Miaya loves the song and can tell it in about two notes..she knows it's her song. Strange how she is moved by it so much...hopefully someday the words will be able to help her to understand, but for now we just in awe of the moment and hopefully in the future we still be in awe of what we did 3 years ago today.  Love you Miaya....always.

PS We haven't cut her hair since she became our daughter. About 2 more inches and we will cut her hair and donate it to "Locks of Love"  BTW if you want to see her video, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAIZ_vzESq0

If you put a child's cup on the middle of her head and pull all her hair up around it into a ponytail, she'll look just like a Dr Seuss character. Cady has fun with "Whip your Hair" too.

Happy Gotcha Day.
