It was 11 years ago today that I laid eyes, in person, on my beautiful little love, Jennifer Paola. They brought her into our hotel room in Guatemala City and it was love at first sight! She was a spunky little extrovert. A little, 15 month old bitty girl with a little bowl cut! Precious.
Oh I love my girlie. She has a heart of gold and a nurturing side that is unbeatable.
