It has been an entire year since Doug and I first laid eyes on our beautiful Briana. The day was absolutely magical. We couldn't stop staring at her pictures. It was one of the best days of our lives. Click here to see the introduction of Briana, here to see our referral day video and here to read the recap of referral day. For this special day, I took a few pictures of Briana with her referral picture. Gosh - she still has those beautiful eyes, pouty lips and long fingers. Happy Referral Day Anniversary to us!

Great comparison pictures - happy referral day to you (and happy 22 months to Brian!) Florida looks so beautiful - how fun that you met another adoptive family there with a child from China. And little Ethan is so cute - he actually reminds me of my friend's son Andrei, also adopted from Russia.
