One year ago today...

... I woke up bright an early hoping to find an email from Haiti for Noah and Samuel's visa appointment - the very last step in our grueling process.

I was dissappointed. The email was not there. When I had spoke with the women in Haiti the day before she told me she would email me with a confirmation of our appointment.

I checked my email a few more times. And then a few more times.

And then, shockingly, the email was there. I was in utter disbelief. I began to shake. And then to cry. Chuck and my mom were here. It was surreal.

And, on top of it all, it was my due date for Tristan. Of course, he didn't arrive until nine long days later.

So much has changed in a year!

Thanks, Honey. For bringing that back. I had totally forgotten it in the blur that has been 2009. What an awesome memory to cling to as well.

Okay, so I can't keep my days straight. It was a year ago YESTERDAY.

How I remember that day! So much has happened since then. My grandbabies are the best thing in my life since you and Christi were born!
