My second Gotcha Day!

Today we celebrated our 2 year Gotcha Day! Two years ago, our precious daughter Cen Li Kun, was handed to us in a hot, stinky gov't office in Nanchang, Jiangxi.



To celebrate, we headed to Dave & B*sters......


Aunt Leslie & Me




My Uncle Tom




Me playing games




See how excited I was when Linley arrived?????????



Me and my best buddy Linley - we are like sisters!



Now we have our prizes, let's head home to bed!



Happy 2nd Gotcha Day dear daughter!


We love you!

XOXO


Mom & Dad
