Another special holiday gone by

I think that anyone that has been through the adoption process can tell you that we gage everything by important dates and holidays. I have spent the last 9 1/2 months saying, with very much hope, maybe she will be here for Christmas, I bet we will get the call on my birthday, I need a Valentine dress because I am sure she will be home by then. Easter was so far off that I couldn't have imagined that she would not be here for Easter. Well, it has come and gone and Layla's dress still hangs in the closet brand new. The thing is, when she does come home it will be the most important date and a new holiday! Gotcha day. The day that Layla will be a part of our family Forever. Can I say there are days that I don't ever think it will happen? Definetly. But most days I just feel so fortunate to be chosen for her mother, and my boys' mother. Hey, the next holiday is Mothers Day, maybe she will be home by then...??? I am posting some pictures of Layla's Easter dress, and the quilt I made for her.
