6 Month Gotcha Day Anniversary

6 months!!!!!  6 months and it's unbelievable for me to think of how far we have come yet at the same time I don't remember what my life was like before Sha......it must have been quite boring:)  We had a fantastic day.  The weather was amazing so we were outside most of the day.  It was the first day in a long time that we stayed at home and was not out running around. I was able to finally attack the weeds in my rock garden and Paul and Sha were able to build a fire pit in the backyard which he has been wanting to do for awhile now.  It came out amazing.  We surprised Sha with taking her to her favorite restaurant 9 East.  As always we had a fantastic dinner and when we got back home we had our first fire in the "pit".  Sha loved the concept of toasting marshmallows on a stick (well I should say setting pure fire to the marshmallows) however she was not loving the smores that we made with them.  God bless her, she does not have a love for sweets unless it's in the form of a cake..for real.   After making smores she got her blanket and mini mouse and wanted us to tuck her in on the lounge chair. We then started to talk about our "Favorite Sha" moments over the last 6 months.  We talked about everything from the first time she met us, we each told our own stories of our emotions that day and basically all three of us we petrified however all three of us all said it went away about 10 minutes after we all met.  Sha said she remembered the first day when we went back to the hotel and Paul was reading to her on the bed.  She fell asleep but remembered Paul giving her tons of kisses on her forehead.  She said it was amazing and then followed it up with she never got kisses like that before...ugh big fat tear.  We talked about the famous electronic translator which has not seen the light of day in months.  Her first day of school and how scared she was to how much she loves it now.  We just had a great night which just validated that this was by far the best thing to ever happen not only to Paul and I, but to Sha and our entire family.  The child is beyond loved.  Here are some pics that include a trip down memory lane, granted it is not a long trip but a good trip:) Enjoy.
