So we are sitting out on the back deck having dinner, just hangin' out having some good family time when Gracie , as she is just about to shove a HUGE piece of watermelon in her mouth, lets out a huge SIGH, then she says to herself....

DIS IS DA LIFE!


I agree... DIS IS DA LIFE!

I came upon your blog a few weeks ago through other adoption blogs. I just had to comment on this...she is beautiful and she fits in perfectly to your family. She looks so much like you guys. Funny how that works.
We are LID and waiting for LOA for our little boy in China. It is funny because he looks so much like our other kids too!
I just love it!
Thanks,
