Ten Months

Hard to believe it was ten months ago today that Olivia and I, barely over being dreadfully sick in Haiti at the tail end of our trip, made our way from Miami to Chicago and finally home as a family of five.

It's been such a roller coaster since with highs and lows and times of just coasting along at breakneck speeds and slow lulls.  

My mind still has a hard time wrapping itself around the fact that she has fit so seamlessly into our lives.  It's hard to remember a 'before'.  Hard to determine which memories she was present for at times of reminiscing.

I'm so amazed by her. 

By her resilience.

By her capacity for love, for attachment, for family.

She is going to be a world changer!!!
