Kate's Homecoming Video

I wish I had words but I don't. I was telling the boys that the best four days in my life have been the day I married their father, the day each of them was born and I got to hold them, and the day Kate came home. That is why this day is so special. It is a birthday of sorts. Words cannot describe the gift that Kate has been to our family. I am writing Kate a letter today and I will write one every year on this day. Our plans to celebrate this incredibly special day have been postponed due to Kate's illness but tomorrow (hopefully) we will share a special meal, cake and a special gift for Kate.

This video has been such a labor of love. I have been working on it for almost a year and have lost is due to computer crashes and freezes at least three or four times (one was last night). Now that it is complete, I am so glad I kept starting over.



I just noticed that I put the wrong year of our wedding in this video---we were married in 1995! I guess that is what you get when you do this so many times and are totally sleep deprived. It took forever to upload so I am not fixing it now!

I originally included Kate's first year home in this video but Dave advised me to split them up. It is a good thing he did because I could not have uploaded it otherwise. Thanks honey! I will post the other one in a few days.

We received VERY joyous news today! Dave's best friend from high school, Karen and her husband, Doug received their referral today for their daughter from China. They are very private so I cannot share their blog but we are absolutely thrilled for them. Congratulations--we love you and we cannot wait to see you next month! We will always share a very special day----your referral and our forever family day!
