Gotcha Day +3

We did not take many pictures of our meeting Julia. We decided to spend the time focused on her instead of snapping away. This is different from lots of families receiving their children, but then again, Julia is different from most children coming home from China. She was beautiful. she was so small for 5 and a half, she was terrified, she was ecstatic. Most importantly, she decided that we belonged to her and she hung on hard.
Three years ago today, we met our darling second daughter. She has transformed our lives, challenged us on so many levels, and give us so, so much love. There is no way to imagine life without our spicy dragon, our Julia ZhuKuang Buchko Schanker.
