"So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." 1 Cor 3:7

I'm just in awe of what God has done.  In one year, Rosie is exploding with language, and is the happiest kid ever.  She wakes up happy and goes to sleep happy!  Her energy level has always been rather high, but she has become confident as a member of our family now.  Her personality is friendly and thoughtful.  She is very aware of her surroundings.  She is full of life, and has a fun sense of humor!  Not quite the girly girl as Lia, but a bouncy, energetic kid ready for adventure!

If we have an errand to go on, she's ready to run out the door in excitement!  If there's a new food on her plate, she's trying it!  If we're playing tag in the house, she's running hysterically laughing while running!  If she's praying at night, she's remembering all her teachers and friends!  If one of us skips having ice cream, she's asking us, "What about you?".  She's more than willing to share, and she always says thank you for things.

As we approach the 1 year mark of her Gotcha Day of June 17, we are just so thankful for Rosie.  It's been a tough adjustment for her; learning a new language, coming from an orphanage to a "family", learning what a mom, a dad and a sister are, but we are so glad that we took this path.   It's been very challenging at times, but we are just so in love with Rosie!   With a very grateful heart, we look up to God, and thank Him, who orchestrated this so perfectly.  More than I could have envisioned.
