I Got You

Yay! Yay! Yay!  This week we celebrated Avika's Gotcha Day!

Look how much she's grown in just one year!  This picture was taken the day we met her at the orphanage. 

 

We were trying to pick which day to celebrate as her Gotcha Day as there were lots of milestones to choose from- the day we met her, the day she arrived in Durango, the day the adoption was finalized, etc.  We picked the day we took possession of her (I hate that phrase!)- the day we GOT her!  On the left is her first Gotcha Day at the ceremony they held for us at the orphanage and on the right is this year, her second Gotcha Day.

 

We celebrated at the Himalayan Kitchen with delicious Indian food (cheese naan, chicken pakoda, chicken tikka masala, malai kofta, and gulab jamun.)  Avika loved everything and Isaac and Delia were more adventurous eaters than the last time we went there.  I vowed to try to cook more Indian at home.

 

More attempts at a family picture.  Four is impossible!

And sibling pictures.  Surely these will get better as they get older, right?  I meant to do mendhi on me and the girls, but I forgot all about it the day of.  Maybe next year!



 

We LOVE our sweet Avika Ruby Priya.  We are so grateful that we GOT YA!
