A blessing!

Two years ago--our daughter was found in a cardboard box wearing only a white shirt. She was 11 days old, weighed 5.5 pounds and was 20 inches long.
We are forever grateful to the person who found her that morning in front of hospital-under the tree. We are even more grateful to God for hearing her cry and helping her find her way to us.
Part of me wishes I could know Maya's birth parents--and tell them how much we love her and how wonderful and amazing she is.
She truly has been a blessing for us and we cannot express our deep gratitude toward the SWI workers who cared for Maya the first 14 months of her life.

Happy Easter!



Wishing all of you a very Happy Easter!
Celebrating holidays with Maya Lily is so much fun.
We decorated our little Christmas tree with Easter eggs--Patrick said, "why didn't we do this before?" (Haha)

Love,
The Dunns

Then and Now




I remember seeing Maya Lily's face for the very first time--a year ago today! It is truly amazing to see how she has grown in just a short amount of time.
Patrick and I have been blessed and love our beautiful, smart, funny, daughter more than we could have ever imagined.
Happy Referral Day Anniversary to our travel group families!

Chinese New Year at the Ming Court




Fireworks

We celebrated Chinese New Year with the Families with Children from China-Central Florida group on Saturday. We went to the Ming Court restaurant in Orlando. It was so great seeing all the little kids dressed in their Chinese outfits. Maya was the youngest of all the children. She got a cute China bear and necklace and got to do "fireworks" by jumping on bubble wrap.

Chinese New Year at EPCOT





Maya celebrated Chinese New Year at EPCOT. She met Mulan and was so excited to have her picture taken with her. Maya brought along her baby Mulan doll--Mulan was very impressed.

Nana Birdie's birthday





We celebrated Nana Birdie's birthday at the Grand Floridian and enjoyed afternoon tea.

Maya Lily and Grace are true Disney pals. At least once a week Rachel and I bring the girls to one of the parks for a play date--yeah we're spoiled!

Chef Mickey's again!



Maya has been to Chef Mickey's four times! She loves seeing the characters.
Here she is with Nonnie Dunn and Nana Birdie.

Maya at the Villa Borghese



She had a blast running through the grass at the villa Borghese. Every time she saw a statue laying down--she said "Na-night" like they were sleeping. Too cute.

A diva in Roma



Maya in the lobby of the Plaza Hotel Grand--she was too cute with her diva shades on.
