Bittersweet ...

Bitter ... today I am back at work after a year off to enjoy time with our new daughter ... who joined our family one year ago TODAY ... sweet!

Here are a couple of THEN and NOW shots:
Dinner out:
THEN

NOW!

Dessert:
THEN ... Chocolate:

NOW ... Ice cream!


I am in absolute AWE of the vast change in this very short year. Cadence really was a baby ... it sometimes feels so long ago and sometimes like yesterday! I am so very, very, very grateful to China ... it has given us a most precious and wondrous gift ... there will never be words to express our thanks. We hope her birthparents take comfort every day in knowing she is loved beyond measure and happy and healthy. You are in our hearts .....

My heart aches as I read your previous post about going back to work - mainly for you, but I am really hoping you can keep up on videos! :) What would we do without our Cadence fix!?!?!?

Happy Forever Family Day! Love the now and then pictures.
