It's been 3 months (and 3 days) since we've been a family of four. It's been quite a journey & we still can't believe it's only been 3 months since Harper's been in our lives! The time has gone by so quick & we can barely remember how slow paced our life was before Harper.
We love her to pieces, & can't imagine our life with out her.
Three months ago, we saw this scared little girl that we knew from a handful of pictures & reports.
And then we were a family of four.....
This was taken at the White Swan Hotel in China 1 week later. She looks so different even after a week.

Although we weren't able to celebrate & be there for alot of Harper's first milestones, we're enjoying all of the new memories we're creating & loving every minute.
She is completing her first week of daycare this week. She's seems to love it! Her teachers say she enjoys serving lunch & pouring her own milk. She's also using more words & trying to say more. I don't know if it's a combination of her making a full recovery from her surgery & being around other kids, but she's a totally different kid now. She's smiling when we wakes up, has more confidence & is happy all evening. The meltdowns have decreased drastically. We definately had some growing pains in the last month.
