Adoption Day 2015

przedAs it turns out, I didn't make it to tonight's Taekwando class. Tomorrow is the anniversary of us adopting Rosalind, so tonight we took ourselves to Mongolian Grill to celebrate.
This is the only picture we managed to get with all of our eyes more or less open.
For comparison, here's a pic of Ros as a toddler. It's hard to believe she was ever that tiny. (For the record, we still have the fuzzy green chair, though it's nearly too small for her now, and she more frequently sits in it tipped on its back and upsidedown.)
We usually get Ros a gift for Adoption Day. This year she gets to pick out her own Birkenstock flip flops, which she has been bugging me about for at least a year. I think we have the only eight-year-old who'd rather have shoes than toys.
In other news, whilst poking around my LJ to look for old pics of Ros, I found this comment in the wake of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I have a sudden desire for a time machine so I can show 2009!Zed just how much TT slash 2015!Zed has written. ::cackles hysterically::

Date: 2015-04-08 12:05 pm (UTC)It is really hard to believe so much time has passed. I remember when you were getting ready to adopt, and going to China, and then all the joys and occasional challenges that Ros brought into your life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I've never met Ros, but I feel I know her, at least a little. What a lovely family you have!
As for the never being tempted into TT slash...Heh. Heh, heh, heh. *g*

The TT slash comment really cracked me up. Heh, heh, heh indeed. *g*
