This week the theme for Favorite Foto Friday is "Beautiful Gifts". What I had chosen to post for this week fits into that theme perfectly! Today is the 2nd anniversary of Tabitha's "Gotcha" or Forever Family Day. On November 13, 2007 we flew to Guatemala City to wait for "pink". It had been a wait that seemed like forever at the time, but in all actuality, was about 9 1/2 months, the average wait at that time. Tabitha turned 10 months of age on the 15th. We ended up spending 3 weeks in Guatemala; some were wonderfully pleasant experiences like meeting and making new friends like Andrea, Scott & Anna and Sharon, Bill & Olivia,touring Antigua and Guatemala City, some not---we all ended up with rotovirus!
I'll never forget this day. Here are some of the pictures from the initial moments of Tabitha's foster mom bringing her to us and that evening.
Tabitha is indeed a "beautiful gift" from God!

Mom being "briefed" as to Tabi's schedule, etc.

Later that evening, Tabi "chewing" on a piece of pizza crust!
The next day, all smiles!
Our "Beautiful Gift" from God!
