Yup. Still trying to get all of these precious pictures organized and blogged of my favorite people on our most favorite vacation ever. So here we go with Day 4. (In each post I’m including links to our Memory Maker photos where we have them – these links are really for me, as are the links to all our videos,… Read More
Almost-Kinda-Sorta Grown Up
Y’all. 18 is just so…. grown up. There are a lot of things you can do when you turn 18. Get a tattoo. Donate blood. Open a bank account. Buy fireworks. Enlist in the military. Play the lottery. Write a check. Buy cigarettes. Skydive. Oh my. Not on the list, but definitely worth mentioning… you can be the sweetest, kindest… Read More
Clementines for Clementine
The last of our spring birthdays. But most definitely not the least. Our sweet Clementine celebrated her fourth birthday last month, her third with us. And we’re pretty sure we’re the luckiest family on the planet to get to be the ones surrounding this girl on her special day – and every day. As I was collecting suggestions and shopping… Read More
Poet’s Last Day
Letting go is hard to do. But sometimes it’s for the best. I got this guy when he was just a long yearling – full of vim and vigor. I had big plans for him. But things didn’t turn out like I’d planned. And really? That’s okay. Because bringing our little ones home from China and homeschooling and running No… Read More
Our Fairytale Adventure: Day 3
The start of our day at the Animal Kingdom looked a little like this. Not quite ready for it… but getting there. (Except Clementine. Just look at her. The girl is pretty much always ready.) It didn’t take us long to get there, though. Just a few steps past the Tree of Life in the Animal Kingdom and we ran… Read More
Tallula, Carrots and Turning Seven
It’s that time of year around here where the birthdays are popping up as fast as the dandelions in my back yard. And as crazy and chaotic (!) as that makes our lives right now, I love it. Because each is a chance to celebrate someone I absolutely, positively adore. Miss Tallula, now home almost five years, is now officially… Read More
Celebrating Our Little-Big Girl
Our littlest love is three, y’all. But, to be totally honest, only part of me is feeling nostalgic about this tiny-girl turning one year older. Because, in lots of ways, she already kinda seems like a grown up. Mature. Seasoned. Composed. As much as we’ve wanted to find the perfect nickname lo these last ten months, we don’t call her… Read More
Our Fairytale Adventure: Day 2
Our second day at Disney World was all about Epcot. And this is where we met up with once-online-but-now-real-life friend and photographer, Sennu Maria Keith, who came armed with a very big camera and an even bigger dose of joy and enthusiasm… Ready to take pictures of our humongous family for the entire day. Last October, Sennu had reached out… Read More
Our Fairytale Adventure: Day 1
Not too long ago, we were blessed by the dreamiest gift. Like a make-your-dreams-come-true gift. A gift I don’t even think I could have dreamed up if given the chance. We were given – our entire family, y’all – a one-week trip to Disney World. A fellow-adoptive mama, as she was planning her own family’s trip to Disney World last… Read More
The Year of the Rooster
In China, the Chinese New Year celebration begins seven days before Chinese New Year’s Eve, and ends on the 15th day of the lunar year. This year, Chinese New Year fell on January 28th and lasted until February 11th – a date also known as the Lantern Festival. Which means that, even though Chinese New Year was officially several weeks… Read More
