Gotcha, Kylee!

Today is the anniversary of a very special day in our family.  It is "GOTCHA DAY" for our niece, Kylee Hope Oswald!  ( A term commonly used in the adoption world for the first day that Joel & Shauna ( Keenan's Sis & Brother in law ) "got" Kylee in their arms for the very first time.  This VERY emotional journey ( at least for ME, anyway...)  Began what seems like ten years ago.  It may have been - have not checked that accuracy with Shauna?  I can not speak for my precious Shauna & Joel, however, this whole event just makes my heart want to burst.  So, I suppose it comes out in the form of LOTS of tears.  You can follow their beautiful family on their blog: "A Walk on The 'Walds' Side" at 1ne1tx1ch.blogspot.com.  As of today, they even have video of their special "Gotcha Day."  Boo Hoooo....Waaaaaa.  Be forewarned - it is too darn cute - and well, the music doesn't help.  - It only ADDS to the emotional trauma on this VERY PROUD AUNT.  We love you oodles, Kylee, Joel & Shauna!  ( Ihope I can get a cute pic of Kylee up on this post - but if I can't - Give yourself a special mother's day treat and check her out at their blog spot!)
