Wow!! Can't believe it's been one year now since we've gotten Betsy. Her Gotcha Day was Wednesday, March 28, 2012. We celebrated her being with us one year on that day. Well, we actually celebrated for two days because Wednesday night we had church! On Wednesday we let the kids have cake after dinner then went to church. On Thursday night we had Chinese food, and I let the kids decorate sugar cookies for dessert. After dinner, and baths we watched Betsy's Gotcha Day video. It was fun to look back and see how she's changed so much. After the video we gave her a set of handpainted nesting dolls we bought when we were in Harbin City, her birthplace. We are so thankful for Betsy, and the journey the Lord led us on to get to her. She is a precious, funny, vibrant, beautiful, full of life girl!! I can't wait to see the plans the Lord has for her life unfold in the coming years:) We are so blessed to be her family!

| Betsy finally got out of Ms. Chen's lap to play bubbles with Ellie. |

| Her personality came out!! This girl laughs the hardest of anyone I know:) |
 |
| All smiles with daddy:) She warmed up to Todd faster than me. |
 |
| Betsy finally let me hold her after not even wanting to look my way at first. Thankfully this happened after only about 2-3 hours! |

| Betsy at home! |

| This was taken in January...about 10 months after we got her. What a difference a family makes!! |
