Ten years ago today . . .

September 11, 2002, I was sitting in my office watching footage from the awful events that happened exactly one year earlier.  And then my phone rang . . . it was our adoption agent with the most wonderful news that we were soon to be filled with the forever love of having a beautiful daughter!

These are the images that we saw on my computer screen that morning.  I say 'we' because the entire HR team at work had come running when they heard me scream out with joy . . .

And now, this most beautiful child who, in this picture, appears to have just a touch of 'tude'!
