It really does not seem like 2 years ago we were so lucky to have Zoe become an addition to our family. I can remember it so vividly. We went into the government building in Nanchang. Jordyn was so excited ( just like we were) to meet her new sister. The referral picture actually showed a baby with hair and pale. Well- I video taped the wrong child- thinking oh, she's so quiet and so sweet, aren't we lucky? Imagine our surprise when we were handed a screaming, shaved very dark baby. We were like- no, no the quiet one- over there. Zoe was crying and then all hell broke lose when Jordyn gave her the toy she picked out and it was thrown to the ground. Jordyn started crying and we went back as the happy family to our hotel room. Two years later, Zoe now cries when Jordyn has to leave for school in the morning. If there is a spat between the two of them and Jordyn gets disciplined, I hear, "Why are you bothering my sister?" I hope this keeps up until they're older- so Zoe can defend her sister. Zoe is so full of life and loves everything from school to her new pet fish. She gets so excited about everything. There are always cheers for something in our house weather it's Dora or some type of snack. We are so lucky to have this adorable, spirited child in our family. Here are some then and now pictures.
