My sweet girl. I just can’t resist trying to capture everything about her. I don’t want to miss a minute. It’s been four months since we met in that tiny Civil Affairs office in Nanning. And as much as I hate to see time slipping away so quickly, I’m not gonna lie… I’m glad to be on this side of… Read More
Vivi’s big day
Today is a big day for Vivi. She’s headed to Boston again. This time with just her Daddy. I had to stay behind. I’m in charge of sick bay and it’s many many patients. And it’s killin’ me not to be there with her. Today is Vivi’s long-anticipated appointment with the geneticist. And we’re hopeful for some answers. Or even… Read More
the Sunday Snapshot party crasher
I know. It’s just Saturday. But Saturday is the day I try to get out and take pictures for Sunday Snapshot. Which is what I was doing today. On what felt like the most beautiful day. Ever. Because the weather was irresistible and the landscape around me beckoned, I decided to focus on non-human subjects. Tomorrow’s Sunday Snapshot will highlight… Read More
Vivi speaks
Vivi uses her words sparingly. And in so doing, she manages exceedingly well to get her point across. She’s been home barely three months and instead of ‘first words’, she’s moved right on to ‘first sentences’. First words are for sissies, according to Vivienne. The other night she busted out with a six word sentence. Clear enough for all four… Read More
Vivi: {spring}
Yesterday, I was a mom on a mission. And I didn’t want it to take more than 30 minutes. Thankfully, I’ve got one of the loveliest little models on the planet. And she’s not old enough to complain. Yet. I contribute over at we picture {this} and this month’s theme is, appropriately, {spring}. And the month, if you’re like me… Read More
who needs milk, anyway?
I never made it to the grocery store today. Heck, I didn’t even make it to the shower. But I did squeeze in a little photo shoot with my most favorite two year old. And I found a preset I can’t live without. My most favorite pictures will be posted tomorrow 🙂
a beautiful sight
No. Not the bed. Or even Vivi. Although, she is beautiful. Especially when she’s asleep. The beautiful sight is these two together: Vivi. In her bed. After being ribbed with her braces and headbutted for the umpteenth time, lo these two months since Vivi’s been home, Chris and I decided to have a go at the inevitable. To move her… Read More
the look
Vivi is incredibly easy going. But she is just two. And she’s not crazy about being told, “No.” But instead of kicking, shrieking and collapsing into a little tantruming puddle on the floor, like I’ve endured with every one of my kiddos before her, she gives the “the look”. It’s subtle. In fact, if you weren’t really watching her, you… Read More

vivi cakes
Hard to believe it’s been two months since Vivi officially joined our family. I think she’s found her niche in our family. And, probably against her better judgment, she is beginning to feel “at home” here. With us. I can hear it in her laugh. I can feel it in her hugs. And I can see it in her smile…. Read More
