"Whad Dat?"

4:00 PM |

Tomorrow I am taking Miss Emme Jade on a trip... Hopefully, her desire to stay belted into her seat has changed since our flights home from China!! :) We are going to see some relatives who are anxious to meet her, and I am finally going to get my hands on Gracie Joy!! I can't wait!


Emme is in a fun phase right now... Her new favorite thing to say is, "Whad Dat?" I hear it many times a day... She is learning so much!!! She still seems much younger than 3 in many ways.. However, she is definitely testing her "three-ness!" There have been many foot stomping moments lately!! She remains adorable and very loved by all over here!

Last week we had our first official photo shoot at the studio... As I expected she made me work for some cute shots... But, when she decided to turn it on we sure had some fun!

On The 5th Day Of Fill Their Stockings...

6:00 AM |

Since I began the journey of adoption with Jeff in 2005 I have been blessed beyond what I could have ever prayed for. One of those blessings, is the inspiring, and fabulous women I have met along the way. Many of whom I am thankful to call friends!

Not too long ago, I was introduced to one of those Mom's... Talented, with an amazing heart to help! Her name is Lori and she sew's the most beautiful clothes... She is a Mom of two girls, one from China. When I contacted Lori about "Fill Their Stockings With Hope" she was the first one to say, "YES, I would love to help!"

So, I am blessed to introduce 3 original pieces from "Sew With Love" hand sewn in gorgeous 100% cotton. All three pieces are size 4.. My girls have been blessed to wear some of Lori's creations and I can honestly say they are amazing!!! Whoever gets to put these in their closet is one lucky little girl!!

A Very MERRY Weekend With Santa and More!!

6:15 AM |

EmmeSanta-8524

Yesterday we were invited to an open house by our good friend and realtor, Steve. His company does a fun Christmas tree and wreath give-a-way to their clients. We had no idea when we got there what a big deal it would be.. Santa was there, Carolers were singing, and the treats were plentiful! It was such a fun morning... The only thing missing was the big sister.

We could not miss the opportunity for Emme to meet Santa for the first time, and for the "Middles" to have a talk with the man they have been talking about daily lately!! It was so SWEET!!!!!! As we kind of expected Emme was not at all scared or shy with Santa.. She walked right up to him, and sat on his lap with her sisters.. She stared at his fur collar and beard, and was quite engaged during her visit!! Ruby was kind enough to explain to Santa that Emme wants/needs a teddy bear for Christmas (so she will stop taking hers!) And both Sienna and Ruby told Santa they would like ice skates this year! (Remember the pillow pet unicorn last year!) As you can see from the pictures, we had three happy girls!

It is a fun weekend over here! Not only did the girls meet Santa, the three older girls had their first ski lessons!!!!! This Mom was in heaven watching them go down the hill together multiple times after their lessons yesterday! They had smiles on their faces and they loved it!!!! When I asked Ruby what she thought, she enthusiastically said, "It was FUN!!" I am picturing that mountain vacation some day! (Jeff.. not so much!) And, the best part, we had the most gorgeous snow fall all afternoon and evening! It finally feels like the Christmas Season here!

And today, is the much anticipated and special Gingerbread House Party with "Camp H!"
Emme's first, Sienna's second, Ruby's fifth, and Ainsley's 8th with this same group! We are blessed with some very special friends here. We can't wait!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful start to your holidays!
