We have had lots of memorable dates along the road of our adoption journey. The day we passed court. The day we met our kids for the first time in the UNICEF orphanage they were residing in. The day I was able to get them out of the orphanage. The day Justin was finally able to join us in Addis. And lastly, the day we landed home in Louisville as a family of four. Keeping up each date every year seemed to be a bit much so we decided to commemorate the whole process of us becoming a family of four on February 15th, the day we came home, as "Myers Day."
We are hoping to allow "Myers Day" to be a celebration in the life of our family where we remember God's faithfulness to us as we recall the ways He has worked in the life of our family in the past and in how He is actively working in the present. Watching our airport video and looking over pictures of our welcome party last year caused our hearts to positively rejoice in God's goodness to us. He was so kind to deliver our kids into our arms then, and He has been so faithful this past year to give us grace upon grace to walk together as a family of four.
Happy First Annual Myers Day!
