Alternately titled: I Will Be Getting Up in Less Than 10 Hours to Rouse My Kids for Their First Day of School. And yes, I am in denial. So what better to do with my time – on this last day before school – than take pictures of Poppy and Vivienne together. It has been on my to-do list, m’kay?… Read More
our day
Summer is drawing to a close. The first day of school is just around the corner. And I, for one, am looking forward to it. Just keepin’ it real. Today, in an effort to expend some, ahem… excess energy – and to avoid making even more of a mess around our new place – we ventured out. As far as… Read More
a girl on the go
Get a load of Miss P. Is she a hoot, or what? Sportin’ big sister’s backpack, purse and shoes. Oh, Poppy. You go, girl.
settling in
Poppy is. Settling in. And it is such fun to witness. She loves to get into the pantry. Loves to play in the dog’s water bowl. And, if you hadn’t noticed, loves to put things in her mouth. She sleeps fairly well. And she eats like a truck driver. She’s venturing out around the house. She’s joining in with the… Read More
the stuff
It’s the little things. Like the bathtub. In China, Poppy sat like a stone in the tub. Seriously. No expression. No movement. And, most definitely, no playing. I’m not sure if it was seeing the other kids play…. or if she had it in her all along… but it sure is sweet to see. This is the stuff.
blooming
She’s just adorable. And little by little, she continues to show more and more of her sweet self. She’s eating. She’s sleeping. She’s giggling. She’s blossoming in front of our eyes. Just had to share, she’s too adorable to keep all to myself.
Sunday Snapshot: {home}
I’ve got to make this quick. But I wanted to let y’all know. After a shuttle ride, train ride, taxi ride and two plane rides… we are, at last, home. The trip was manageable. It had it’s moments. Definitely could have been worse. But 28 hours? With at 22 month old? Well… it’s over. And that’s all I wanna say… Read More
Dear Poppy…
My little love. You have endured so many changes in the last few weeks. I know how frightened all this must be for you. And that we are only at the beginning of our journey together as mother and daughter. But know this. I will do my very best to love you unconditionally. To comfort you in times of sorrow…. Read More
Poppy: day 10
Just a few pictures from our last full day in China. That were sort of overlooked in my red couch frenzy. Sorry, little pictures. As a person who knows that a picture really is worth a thousand words, I didn’t want to leave these out. And now, I can go on with my life. Over and out.
Poppy and the red couch
Sweet Poppy. She just sat, like a little doll, on the red couch. So incredibly beautiful. But still, so very much hidden beneath the surface. Honestly, I’m incredibly proud of her. And how far she’s come in less than two weeks. So grateful that we have a lifetime together ahead of us. She’s got a lot of smiling to do.
