Nede's growing up. It really does happen fast, doesn't it? It's hard to believe this is where it all began...

And now we've celebrated multiple events together as a family, Nede and Dara...

I remember saying before returning to Mozambique that all that matters is that we're together, whatever that looks like. And it's true. Being able to be a part of changing this beautiful child's life can only be called a miracle! And she bring SO MUCH JOY! I know I can safely say that that joy isn't just appreciated by me. She radiates JOY! Just look at that toothless grin, who wouldn't want to be involved in her precious life?

I'm grateful she calls me Mommy.
