A day and moment I'll never forget. On this day, 1 year ago, I learned about my daughter. This was the day I received the referral of a then 11 week old baby named Diana (DeeAHHnah).
Three phone numbers were ringing trying to get a hold of me while I was in the middle of a kitchen renovation consultation. First it was the office number; next my home number; and then my cell phone rang. I couldn't wait for that man (kitchen consultant) to get out of my house so I could ring Joyce at AO. I still have the scrap paper where I jotted down some notes. After learning a bit about my daughter-to-be, in popped the email with 3 photos of a sleeping angel.

Little Love-
I could not be more thrilled to have you in my life and I feel so honored that we were brought together as a family. Your smiles and laughter are infectious and bring joy to all whose life you touch. Thank you for coming into my life.
All my love,
Your Mama

Oh how well I remember that email :) Happy Anniversary to both of you! I just looked over the pictures that Tim took of her...she's always been a beauty.

She's such a sweetie!

Ahh - the referal day, I remember it well - the repeated phone calls while I was at a home inspection - racing over to your house and seeing litle Noli's face for the first time! What a great day!
