June 26th...7yrs. Anniversary of Catie's referral.....

Our first picture of Catie....June 26th 2001...

It's hard to believe that 7yrs. ago today, while we were living in Singapore at 7:30am Singapore time we saw this face come up on a computer screen....our girl...our girl....I was on the phone with our adoption agency in the USA and Brian was on the computer seeing her picture first...I heard him cry and say..."she's so beautiful" with a quivering voice...I tear up as I write that, remembering it vividly......it's really hard to believe that 7yrs. have gone by....that she'll be 8 on July 6th...start the 3rd grade in August.....she's a swimteam star, bookworm (blowing through Harry Potter #4 at present time) and is the most amazing, sensitive, sweet, stubborn, lovable girl on the planet.. WE love you Catie girl!
