przedToday we celebrated the five years since we adopted Ros. It's a total cliche, but it feels like the time has just flown by, but also like Ros has always been a part of our family.
We spent the morning and afternoon with one of the other families we travelled to China with, and considering we hadn't seen them since last year, it was extraordinary how well Ros and their daughter got on. There was no ten minute evaluation period like there is when she's sizing up other kids these days, they just hugged and started running around the house together, squealing.
The other dad is a fab photographer, and this is one of the pics he took today:
Thought I'd put up a few pics of Ros, over the years.
The first picture of Ros we ever saw, as a rather scared looking six-month-old.
In Beijing, still looking a bit suspicious of these new parental types.
Adoption day 2008, totally adjusted to life in Canada, and ready for her close-up.
Easter 2010, enjoying her favourite candy, jelly beans!
