23 years ago today...

As we were signing and dating adoption decrees today, we realized that 23 years ago today was our first date. Who knew that a great time at a football game would lead to 17 years of marriage and 4 kids. What a blessing...

Thanks to all who have looked at and/or posted comments on the blog. We really appreciate it.

And the printed version of this blog will likely be the "baby book".

Thanks for praying with us and allowing us to unashamedly share our joy with you all.

(Happy Anniversary, Mimi and Pawpaw!)

The Smiths have loved being able to keep up with Zane becoming part of the Hilliard family! Thanks for the wonderful pictures and comments.
Know you are all LOVED, thought about daily and missed very much here in Memphis, Tn.
When you get home please keep your BLOG going!
Our love to all! Robin

Dear Brett and Shannon,
Happy Anniversary, even it's for your first date. Its so good to see everything is going smoothly since you arrive in Beijing. I can feel the joy in you and am so glad that Zane has found a great home. He is certainly a lovely kid, and can't wait to meet him. Matthew
