1 year ago today

Happy Birthday to our Princess!!

1 year ago today our lives were changed forever, our beautiful daughter Mackenzie was born. It's hard to believe its been a whole year. Time has gone so quickly it truly feels like yesterday that we were in India at Spring Meadows waiting nervously in the waiting room for Mackenzie to be born.

 

The first year has been full of fun, laughter and joy. Mackenzie is such a good little girl and we feel blessed to be her parents.

 

I have a post written to catch you all up on what's been happening since I last posted over 7 months ago!!!!! Bad blogger award goes to me!!!! But I wanted this post just to be a birthday post.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about Jyoti, Dr S and the team at SCI, without them I wouldn't be writing this post. I hope that Jyoti is fully recovered and her life has returned to normal, we will be forever grateful and will never forgot what an amazing and special person Jyoti is and she will always be part of our family. I have been showing Mackenzie pictures of Jyoti and talking about her so when we go back to Delhi in the near future for #2 if we are lucky enough to see Jyoti again Mackenzie will hopefully recognise her.

We had a small birthday dinner and cake with family on Tuesday as Mark unfortunately went back to work yesterday and I am lucky to be able to have a day off work today to spend it with Mackenzie. We are having a bigger party with family and friends on the 27th, which just happens to the day she became an Aussie citizen.

I'll leave you with some pics that were taken recently.

Not a fan of Santa this year

This was before the tears started with Santa
