Goodbye 2008! Happy New Year's to 2009! Here are a few memories of 2008. Wishing you and your family a wonderfully magical year! When we return, you can find us at ourcupcake.blogspot.com.
December is one of those months which is sentimental because of the holidays and the close of the year. Two years ago this was coupled with leaving on December 1 to meet our daughter. Not everything went as well as hoped during our first trip but everything happened for a reason. In hindsight everything was PERFECT. On lucky number 7 of December we met our little Cupcake. Even though the adoption days seem so far behind us, it is impossible not to feel so thankful for such a gift.

Even though the adoption days seem so far behind us, it is impossible not to feel so thankful for such a gift.
Almost two years later Cupcake has doubled her weight, grown 8 inches, went from a 12mo to 3T in size, eats decently, pottie trained with no accidents for 3 months, speaks like me, and sleeps like a princess. She is in her second year of school. Swims like a champ, enjoys her ipod, and loves the moonbouncer. She is well-behaved, affectionate, and a good friend to all of her play mates.
She loves to travel and adjusts well to new situations. Her favorite color is PINK, her best friend at school is Lilly. Her love of her little life is Leif. Swings are her favorite out door toy, swimming is her favorite sport, and playing with the dogs is her newest found interest.
Cupcake is my "IT" girl. Every moment of everyday I wonder where we can go and what we can do next. This month in Italy has been one of the most amazing & enriching experiences for us. Listening to her, watching her, and holding hands on the beach reminds me this is what life is all about. SOOOO....to all of our friends and family who make every day a special day, we thank you for being part of 2008 and can't wait to share 2009 with all of you when we return.
