Oh my. Vivi at 16 months. I could just die from the sweetness. Thank you Grace and Hope. For taking such wonderful care of our girl.
mornin’, sleepy head
I often ask myself what it is that makes Vivi so easy. So lovable. So incredibly cute. One thing I’ve determined is that especially charming about Vivi is her demeanor. She isn’t necessarily a ‘morning person’. In fact, most mornings I have to wake her up. This morning, it was at the crack of 9:30. That’s another very lovable thing… Read More
real life
Things are settling down around here. Real life is beginning to surface. The kids are starting to occasionally get irritated with their new sister. Believe it or not. Vivi does enjoy frustrating them to no end by knocking over their painstakingly created Magnatile buildings. And assaulting them verbally when they don’t hand over the toy she happens to want. Right…. Read More
news from Boston
Vivi had to be woken from a sweet slumber in order to get to Boston Children’s on time. By the time we got in the car, she barely had her eyes open. Thankfully, she had an hour and half ride in which to wake up. As soon as we were checked in and ushered to a room, the kids were… Read More
a long day
We made it. Whew. We left home at a little after 8:00 this morning. And we barely made it home in time for the boys’ bus at 3:45 this afternoon. It was one very long day. But Vivi did great. She is an amazingly easy-going kid. She loved almost everything about the hospital, most of all the bubble tubes that… Read More
headed to Boston
We’re off to Boston this morning for an appointment with the kiddos at Boston’s Children. It will be a follow up for Jude and Shepherd, as their clubfoot has been corrected and they only require twice yearly visits. But for Vivi, this will be her first visit with an orthopedist to see how her little tootsies are doing. We also… Read More
see?
One hour into a grocery expedition and she’s as smiley as ever. See why I’m so smitten? That, and she’s cute as a bug.
Sunday Snapshot: {matters of the heart}
Adding Vivienne to our family has been easy. Relatively easy. I mean, adopting a toddler is way different from the way a newborn enters a family… all wrinkled and clueless and malleable. At two years old, Vivi might still be tiny, but she is most definitely not clueless. She’s experienced a lot in her two years. Too much. At four… Read More
fitting in
Today marks four weeks since we came home from China with Vivi in our arms. And it’s been a pretty crazy four weeks. Life is definitely different with the addition of this little one. We can’t fit all the littles into the tub anymore. We can’t fit into our car anymore. We can’t all fit around our kitchen table anymore…. Read More
‘gotcha’. revisited.
Tomorrow marks one month since the day I stood in Civil Affairs. And became a mama for the ninth time. I’ve never shared these pictures before because meeting Vivienne wasn’t what I had expected. She wasn’t what I expected. The nanny carried her in and quickly put her down so she could toddle off to play on the rocking horse…. Read More
