Today marks two months since we received Claire and tomorrow will be two months since the adoption was finalized.It's hard to believe it's been two months already, and on the other-hand, it's hard to believe we haven't always been together.
Claire has changed so much from the scared little bundle of heat that was placed in our arms that day. I've attached a picture of her first tentative smile at us. Her smile these days doesn't look anything like it; now, she smiles with great abandon, a huge grin complete with smiley eyes. She also had a look in the first few days that we haven't seen since. She'd sort of stick her jaw out, which made it look like she had an underbite. That must have been her "hmmm, I'm still sorting you guys out" look.
I'm also attaching a picture of our adoption certificate, which has a picture of us taken about a half hour after meeting Claire. By this time, she had clued in that something was changing for her in a BIG way and she was howling like crazy.
Happy Anniversary to all the families we travelled with: we miss you and think of you often.

They sure are a far cry from the little bundles we met just 8 weeks ago. I still have to pinch myself sometimes (although at 5am I'm up for the day, the "realness" of it sinks in:):) Happy Anniversary to you guys too.
happy anniversary guys! It feels like much longer than 2 months ago since we were in china. Feels like Kennedy has been with us forever and we haven't missed a thing! Happy Easter...have a great visit in Saskatoon!
Happy Anniversary! It sure is hard to believe, isn't it? We can't wait to see you guys on Monday, we've missed everyone so much.
Happy 2 month anniversary! She has grown so much and looks so different from this picture from 2 months ago! Mar
