Sophie and Isabelle don’t fight over much. In fact, they rarely fight at all. But these Cinderella sunglasses have brought out the she-devil in each of them. I gave each of the girls a few turns wearing them and then I had to put them up. Isabelle kept hitting Sophie when it was Sophie’s turn and Sophie was trying to… Read More
How many people can you fit in a photobooth?
Today we headed to the mall. Tori wanted to check out some jackets at American Eagle and I, well… I don’t ever mind making a trip to the mall. All my favorite shops were having a great sale over Labor Day weekend and I thought I’d go again just for the fun of it. While we were strolling around (actually… Read More
Baby’s got belly
Isabelle has slowly and steadily been gaining weight the last few months. It’s a welcomed sight at our house (at least when it’s Isabelle that’s packing on the pounds), since she was so thin when we adopted her and struggled with gaining weight those first few months. I really have to stay on top of her, offering foods I know… Read More
Belle’s found a doll to love
We have quite a few dolls around our house. Most are well loved by Sophie, but Isabelle, because of her sensory issues, has major problems with dolls, specifically doll hair. It seems to be the only thing that makes her gag anymore. On top of her disliking doll hair, Isabelle has never shown a motherly side, at least not one… Read More
More weekend pics
After the beautiful botanical gardens, we headed back to our hotel. The boys adore staying in a hotel because it means jumping on the beds and swimming in the pool! Thankfully it was a perfect day for swimming as the pool was outside and we were the only ones there. The girls haven’t been in a ‘normal’ pool all summer,… Read More
Great weekend
Chris came home on Thursday and we headed to Birmingham on Friday for a weekend away. We took the kids out of school for the day and arrived in the early afternoon. We lunched with some of the folks from Lifeline (the adoption agency we used to bring Sophie home) and had a great time talking adoption talk and getting… Read More
Frozen treats on a stick
The kids are still enjoying the warm weather (read: smokin’ hot) here in Georgia since it affords them a much longer window of opportunity to spend afternoons in their play pool, enjoying such frozen delights as fudgesicles and popsicles. The other afternoon Sophie chose a fudgesicle and Belle chose a blue popsicle. Well, the heat got to them before the… Read More
Hard fought victories are the sweetest
Doing a puzzle has always been easy for Sophie. She is just naturally capable of doing most things that are at her age level or above, even though she spent her first 2 1/2 years in an orphanage. Isabelle on the other hand has lagged behind in many areas since the beginning. When we adopted her at 11 months she… Read More
An exchange between sisters
The girls have really begun to become sisters. They play well together, often both running the same direction, both holding half of the same toy, headed back to their room to play. Lately they’ve become buddies in the lounging department also. Both of the girls are active and love to play. But when they’re all played out, or just need… Read More
Nothing like old friends
Some of our wonderful friends from our last two assignments (both Illinois and Oklahoma) were able to come by yesterday to visit. They were on their way home from vacation and had the afternoon to come by and visit with us all for a while. The boys loved having Brian here to wrestle with, they’ve missed that rough housing they… Read More
