9 Years with our Peanut

Yesterday we celebrated the 9th anniversary of the day we met Jaden in China, which you can read about here.  She was such a tiny little thing, easily fitting into 6 month size clothing at 10 months, but even on that day, we could see just how feisty our spicy little one would be.  Since day one with us, she's never hesitated to let us (and everyone else) know exactly how she feels and what she's thinking.  She's fun-loving, smart, energetic, cheerful and makes us laugh every day.  Jaden is one of those kids who just loves life.  She bounces out of bed every day at the crack of dawn with a big smile on her face and is always up for anything.  We are so blessed that God chose us to be her parents and look forward to seeing what adventures lie ahead for her.   
Before our traditional Family Day dinner at PF Chang's, we went out for quick shoot and I'm so glad we did. I just love the winter sun and am going to endeavor to get out with my camera more this year. I really miss shooting, especially my J's, and hope to have lots of new pics of them to post soon.  
Happy Family Day to all of our Hunan 1 and 2 travelmates and Jaden's ZZ sisters!

I'm participating in Stef's Sunday Snapshot for the first time today, be sure and pop over to her blog to see this week's shots!
