2 Years (well just about)

India just celebrated her 2nd Birthday this week and it caused for much reflection in me!

India on her 1st Birthday.

India on her blessing day.
I think of everything we went through to get this little girl here. I think of all the times we thought she wouldn't make it or would make it too soon. With all the challenges she's definately lightened our lives! I'm so grateful for the joy she brings into my life even if she does insist on calling me Cassidy!
