It's hard to believe that one year ago today Rachel became a U.S. citizen when we landed in Houston. We traveled all day & she was a great traveler.. When we got to the luggage area to meet my mom, aunt & uncle Rachel began to cry uncontrollably & this lasted for about 4 hours. I remember it like it was yesterday... today we calebrated gotcha/homecoming day with dinner & cake at the house. I wanted to keep with the Guatemala theme cake, it isnt what i wanted but it looked good anyway. Dinnner was with Rachel's grandparents & godparents..& them we had cake at the house.. I also had a food basket& dinner sent to Telma, Rach's foster mother on Tuesday, it was a year that she gave Rachel to us forever. Here are some pics.. i realize everything is backwards but oh well...

Hard to believe its already been a year. Remember how long those days were when you were waiting...how we ached to hold these baby girls of ours in our arms...waited for the phone rign...waited for good news on the forums, and here we are a year later and life seems so normal, as if they have been with us all along. Happy you had a wonderful day! She is precious. Susie
