Happy Chinese New Year

2012 Year of the Dragon

O.K., O.K., O.K.  I know that is far to many pictures of my little firecracker. I just can't get enough of her cuteness.

SNOW!!!!

 Snow around here is SUPER exciting!!  

We don't get it all that often.  When we do, we get oh so HAPPY!

 See for yourself . . . Lovin the Beauty

A perfect Sunday morning.

Favorite Sweatshirt Friday

Today was dress up day at pre-school

It took some persuading by this sweet girly of mine.


You see, this little red Kai Lan sweatshirt is a size too small

I just would not want someones tummy hanging out getting cold

  How could I say no to that precious smile

Let's just say I couldn't.

Refresh

Just bought tickets to this

My heart just aches for the 147 million orphans.  Like I think about it all the time.   I NEED to do something just something other than feeling sad about it.  I have had the privileged of volunteering for Love Without Boundaries over the last several months and I LOVE it.  It makes me feel like a teeny tiny itty bitty piece of the puzzle. 

 I would love love love to adopt again and pray that it will happen someday but for now it is not in our cards.

Not sure what this conference has to do with being anymore a piece of the puzzle but it feels good to go and learn.  Of course we still have a long road ahead with Naomi as she gets older and has more questions (might get some grand ideas at the conference)

The cool part about this conference is my hubby has a ticket too.

O.K.

I am totally rambling and non of this really goes together but it is my blog so hey

Hope you all have a great weekend.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

May your day be full of love and joy.

Nutcracker

We have a tradition.  My sister-in-law and I plan on taking each kid to the Nutcracker this year was Nathaniel's turn.

The problem was SIL went and had a baby the night before the ballet.

O.K not a problem cuz now I have a beautiful new niece.

So my sister filled in for her.  and we had a good ol' time.

Tried to make it fun night with pizza before hand.  Then off to the ballet.

In all honesty he got a bit bored with the snowflakes and fairies but once the soldiers started waving their swords and the guns fired he was all eyes and ears.

All in all we had a good time.  The next morning my little man was doing ballet twirls on the kitchen floor.

I just got to hold my new niece

and she is PERFECT!

see I told you.  Absolutely perfect.

So happy that her mommy and daddy shared cuz I am kinda a baby hog.

It is going to be an extra special Christmas.

Pete's brother . . . one happy daddy
