Everytime I look at the photos from that day I am overwhelmed with emotion - mostly gratefulness to God for allowing us the privilege of adopting a daughter. What an amazing reminder for me of the incredible pleasure He must have in growing His family - the Church (those for whom Christ died). May we honor and glorify Him for He is truly worthy!
Want to remember with us the moments when we first welcomed Emmy Xiang into our arms? Join us tonight as we eat Papa John's pizza (like we did that night 2 years ago in China) and watch our movies from Gotcha Day and our time in China. Unfortunately, Jim's in NJ for a business trip, but he's planning to get Papa John's there. And, you can join in at your house, too! Just place an order (you can do it online!) at papajohns.com, though you can't order a "Big Papa" like we did that night in China, and pull up these posts from that day. Then, with pizza in hand, enjoy the slide show, read the post and comments, and relish in God's grace with us:
I'm so glad we've "got" her.
The "We've Got Her!" post. Sigh.
The "Gotcha Day Details" post.
God is so good.

Only two years....It seems like she has always been ours. We are truly blessed with this precious bundle of love. Emmy, we love you sooooooooo much.

Hello Brown family!
We have been reminiscing today as well. Has it really been two years? I love the Papa John's idea! We are planning to go out for Chinese food to celebrate our two years with our Sarah. I have enjoyed seeing how Emmy Xiang has grown in the love of your family.
I am so thankful for God's sovereignty in placing these precious girls into our families!
Enjoy your special celebration!
Heather Simonsen, Sarah's mom
