You've Come a Long Way, Baby!

Today is the 3rd Anniversary of Atticus' Adoption!

Every day has been a tremendous joy for Terry and me. Attie came into our lives with a remarkable willingness to accept our hugs and kisses. She was very disciplined and eager to learn new things. Her curiosity has only gotten stronger over the years and we are so proud that she is thirsty to learn and enthusiastic about life.

Thank you, Attie, for giving us the greatest joy of our lives, YOU!

It has not been easy to get to the point of acknowledging that I have not known Attie her whole life. I am grateful that Attie's birthparents loved her first; and that her caregivers taught her to be loved.

And finally, thank you, thank you, thank you to family and friends who endured the wait with us, participated in the process, and instantaneously loved Atticus. She is so lucky, we are so lucky, to have such loving friends and families.
