Chapter 91 The Anniversary Reflection

• September marked Emma's second adoption anniversary, providing an opportunity for family members to reflect on how dramatically their lives had changed since that pivotal decision, as well as how each family member had grown through the challenges and joys of expanding their household from four to five people.
• "Two years ago, we didn't even know Emma existed," Phoebe commented while gazing through photo albums that documented Emma's metamorphosis from a scared infant to a confident, walking toddler, "and now I can't imagine our family without her."
• "She's become such an essential part of who we are as a family," James said, watching Emma exhibit her latest skill of stacking blocks into increasingly higher and perilous buildings that inevitably crumbled amid ecstatic giggles.
