This made me cry such tears---I'm so happy for you, and I can't believe it's been a year. You are such a cute family and that was a fabulous slide show. What a great thing to show Z when she is older too!

[lara]

Oh Michele, Oh my God, that is just tear jerking from start to finish. It's beautiful, congratulations on your first true mother's day!

Lara

P.S. (Ray's a bit of alright too ;)

[Jo]

Oh she was SO small! I'd forgotten. I remember many of these pictures so well from last year, they're just beautiful. The ones of the two of you by the hotel window are so lovely.
And little Z has had a love affair with the camera pretty much snce the day you met hasn't she?!
Thanks for letting us see this again.

So, so sweet. I have tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.

[SpaceMom]

Wow, that was great. I have to say, I was surprised by how many shots had Zorba leaning peacefully on your chest. From your descriptions, I would have expected more tears, less pure love and comfort that first week.

You guys ROCK!

Nathaniel and I love it! He was fascinated from start to finish (kept signing "baby"), and I am a weeping mess. What a beautiful family!

[Amy]

This is such a great piece. What beautiful music choices as well. Could you give the the names and artists of both songs? They just make me want to hug my son.

What a beautiful family you are.

[Sonja]

That is beautiful...a small cry to start my morning. Congrats on the 1 year!!!

[AmericanFamily]

Add me to the list of the criers. Who sang that first song?

I was just thinking yesterday how that Dixie Chicks song would be great for an adoption video. It's so obvious your love for Z goes to the moon and back. Congratulations on one year.

...tears streaming...
That's just what I need to see, thank you! Happy one year anniversary as a mother.

[shelly]

Oh the tears! This is so wonderful. It's been a whole year - amazing. I forget what a tiny peanut she Zoe was. So glad to know you.

[KimN]

So beautiful! Happy 1 year.

[shelly]

Yes, yes - what is the name of that first song? It's the Dixie Chicks, right? Please post here
;-)

[shannon]

Man, I'm crying over here. It is amazing it has already been a year! I remember so many of those pictures. I remember when you guys were in China. I remember thinking I want that. Y'all were a perfect beautiful family from the start. Congratulations! xoxo

[shelly]

M - I found that Dixie Chicks song - it's Lullaby from their new record, yay! I got the only CD left at Target today.

[betsy]

Oh my. I'm weeping here. I've watched this three times this afternoon already. You have captured those first few days in China beautifully. And the music? So lovely. Congratulations on your 1st anniversary of becoming a family. My oldest baby turns 6 years old on Saturday and I can remember holding her for the first time in that Hunan hotel room like it was yesterday. Thank you so much for sharing this sweet video.

[Julia]

That's just beautiful all the way around, Shelba.

[Amy]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

That version of Calico Skies (Its a Paul McCartney song for those who wondered) sounds different than the one I have...which album did you get it off. I have it on the War Child compilation I think.

[Sherry]

Stunning. Just, plain stunning.

Congrats on your first year together...may it be the first of hundreds to come.

[KJB]

Wow... The slideshow is a lovely tribute to one incredible year and beautiful family. Gosh, a year.... here's to many, many more.

Blessings,
KJB

Thank you so much for sharing this slideshow. Your daughter is beautiful and you can tell immediately in the pictures that she made your family a happy one. And how exciting that you are beginning the journey again. We are waiting, still, and your video made me smile and remember what I'm really waiting for.

[iheartnewyork]

Oh, that was so beautiful! What a wonderful family -- thanks for sharing that amazing slideshow. Love, love the music too.

[Heather Ann]

[Julia]

That was so lovely. Happy familyversary.
