Yep, two years ago today, our precious Thad and Kamby said goodbye to their orphanage. It was such a special day! They have brought so much joy and laughter to our family, it is incomprehensible to think of them ever not being with us. Kamby was absolutely thrilled to celebrate Gotcha day and all day she went around telling everyone, "Happy My Gothca Day!" Thad on the other hand got something confused about today and he was very concerned that we were going to Ethiopia. LOL! So he enjoyed the day but did not want anyone wish him Happy Gotcha day. He just said, "No Gotcha day, go to play." The children's Christmas musical was performed at church this morning and he was so looking forward to it. So I think he got confused that somehow Gotcha day would interfere with him going to the musical.
