2 Years Ago Today...

we brought Antalya home for the first time. It was such an exciting day. I was so happy to finally be leaving the hospital after being there for nearly a month, but I was very nervous about caring for my new little baby without the help of nurses. How grateful I am that she has joined our family. Becoming a mother has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I love my little girl so much!

It's crazy how we forget how little they once were. Antalya is so beautiful. What an amazing family you guys are. Thanks for being a good friend to me Sunny. I hope all goes as planned for her upcoming surgery.

How precious! Where does the time fly? Antalya still has those adoring eyes that melt your heart, but she has grown and matured into a little lady with a personality all her own.

Sunny, I can't believe that was two years ago. :)
I'm sorry for your lack of sleep. No matter how much we love our kiddos. Life is SO MUCH HARDER without sleep. I thought I was going crazy when Graham wouldn't sleep. Now I realize I wasn't I just needed some rest.
I pray the surgery goes well! And that soon you both will get some much needed sleep.

You are SUCH a great mother . . .It's fun to watch you with Antalya. It's so obvious how much you love her and she adores her mommy, too. I feel so very blessed to be a part of both your lives!
