It has been depressingly hot and dry here this summer. Even the beautifully manicured lawns are turning brown from lack of rain. We have had thunder and sprinkles a few times, but a real rain shower hasn’t materialized. Well, a full blown storm was rolling in the other night and Sophie asked me if she could go outside. I knew… Read More
Home two months!
Two months ago today Sophie and I drug ourselves off of our final flight home. We were in pretty sad shape, but oh so happy to be home! Since then my little girl has not stopped amazing me. Looking back I can see that she was pretty stoic in China, not trusting me enough to let me get to see… Read More
Playdate with Keegan
Keegan’s mom, Cynthia, and I became friends on our CCAI DTC group from last year. Although we didn’t travel together, we did meet up at the CCAI reunion last year. Chris and I had already brought Isabelle home, but they hadn’t travelled for Keegan yet. So this was the first time I had seen this little angel in person. And… Read More
Why I love Spongebob
I admit, I used to hate Spongebob. I thought it was the dumbest show and refused to let my children watch it. Finally I acquiesced and watched a few episodes to prove to the kids how stupid the show was. Well, ol’ Spongebob proved himself to be the sweetest, most kind hearted little sponge in the whole sea. But the… Read More
Pics from the park
We found a local park to spend the afternoon. The kids had a great time, but, once again, my girls were not thrilled to be the focus of my picture taking. Isabelle is old hat at these types of playgrounds, but Sophie is like a kid in a candy store everytime we get out to play. Yes, I did get… Read More
Happy (almost) 4th of July!
We went to watch fireworks last night. It was a big show, lots of beautiful fireworks. The kids enjoyed some funnel cake. Well, who am I kidding, I enjoyed some funnel cake. And then I let the kids have what I couldn’t eat. Isabelle had a great time getting all sugared up and running around, but when the fireworks started… Read More

Isabelle’s big day
Well, it’s official. I have 2 two year olds. That just sounds painful. I used to pity people who had two children in diapers and … well God is proving that He has quite a sense of humor. We celebrated Isabelle’s big day in style. My sister, her husband and their two daughters came down for the party and helped… Read More
Almost two
Isabelle will celebrate her second birthday on Monday. When we had her first birthday party, shortly after we arrived home with her, we had no idea how she would change and grow in the first year. At that time we were only seeing a glimpse of the little girl she was to become. A loving, funny, adventurous, busy little girl…. Read More
Adventures in motherhood
Last night was one to remember. It was a pleasant enough evening with the kids playing outside and eating popsicles. Then onto bath time which went off without major incident, unless you call Isabelle throwing unattended towels into the tub and incident. I got the girls ready for bed and took some pics of them in their diapers … Isabelle… Read More
