2 Years!


Today is the 2 year anniversary of Brynn joining our family. We have been truly blessed to have her as our daughter and sister. The pictures above are from the months before she was in our arms and from the first six months when she was finally home. Clockwise from top left: her referral picture we first saw in early September 2005 (she is 9 months old), a picture taken from a traveling family (she is 17 months old), 2 pictures of her with her foster family (from a camera I sent in a carepackage... she is about 21 months old), "Gotcha Day" with her foster mom (she is 2 years, 1 week old), 2 picture from the first few days with us (she was not liking us in the first one AT ALL!), the car picture is from the second day home in Virginia, and the last picture was for our 2006 X'mas card when she was 2 1/2, at six months home.


And here is Brynn today! She is a firecracker... spunky, chatty, active, and very entertaining! We love you Brynn Kellie Manlu!

Has it already been 2 years? It doesn't seem that long ago that you were in China, but strangely it seems like Brynn has never been anywhere else. What a blessing all of you are! Miss Brynn I'm SO glad you are here and so is Miss Carter.
