"It's So Beautiful!"


One of my favorite English expressions from Sienna is when she says, "It's so beautiful!" It is said with a tone of childish surprise and wonderment. Her comprehension of the English language and her ability to verbalize so much already truly amazes me!

Yesterday, I took "The Littles" to the Arboretum. It is one of my favorite places here to visit, and of course to use as a backdrop for photographs. This was Sienna's first visit to this magical place. Ruby was thrilled to have her new sister along to share in her passion for picking "flowers!" For over an hour they ran around building their wonderful bouquets! And for over an hour I chased them with my camera. Two daughters, one Mom, all together doing what they love!

There is only one way for me to describe this special afternoon as I watched this precious friendship blossom and this sister bond grow... "It was and is so beautiful!"

Darling pictures of your treasures. Love Springtime! Wondering how the blood tests turned out? We are considering a special needs adoption and are interested to see the care involved with her special needs. Love to your sweet family!

I love your "Littles"...and your precious "Pearl", too!! :)

Oh how nice the Arboretum looks already. I've always wanted to go there. Can you believe I used to live in E.P. and I've driven by there a gazillion times since, but never stopped?! SAD, I know. It's gorgeous there and I can't wait to use it as a backdrop for Khloe one day, too!!

I LOVE the beautiful spring we've been enjoying this year in MN... we are so blessed!

Hugs,
Tanya

Oh Diana, What a lovely post to read on this spring morning! Yellow is my favorite color so I especially loved all those pictures! But I have to say, my favorite ones are of Ruby and Sienna....not only is God allowing us to see flowers bloom this spring, but also to see a special love bloom between these two sisters. How it warms my heart even in pictures!
Hugs to you!

Hi -- you don't have to publish this comment--I just wasn't sure how to email you directly. I was wondering if I could use a picture of your girls on a website I'm building for a friend--can I tell you more about it? Email me at mkraudy@verizon.net Thanks!
