was Gotcha Day.
Grandma Julianne and I arrived in Ethiopia and picked Fiori up on August 18, 2008.
I remember on the way over thinking I might leave her at the transition house and visit a few times since I didn't want to shock her system. I figured I would play it by ear and see how she was with me. That all went out the window as soon as I arrived and she was placed into my arms. No way was I leaving without my daughter.
Today I picked her up from day care and it was so cool that she was sitting looking out the window and yelled "mommy" at the top of her lungs as soon as she saw me. Then she met me at the door telling everyone "it's mommy" with a big smile on her face. I almost cried.

She was shouting from the rooftops that you are hers . . . just as you shouted from the rooftops one year ago today that she is yours! Happy Gotcha!
