Wonderful Weekend

We've had a whirlwind of a week and a half, but it's been great.  From June 19th - 22nd we were lucky enough to have Danny's older brother & his family come to visit us.  The best part of the trip was simply seeing the cousins around each other -- especially Berkley & Kaelah crawling all over the place.  Those two (less than 2 months apart in age) made me want to adopt twins!
Kaelah really liked the fan at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (above) and both Berkley & Kaelah liked crawling up the stairs.  I'm in the background because neither one of them are free from falling down them yet.  (:

While Brennen, Jill, Carter & Berkley went to another baseball game, Danny, Kaelah, & I went to Barb & Mark's wedding celebration.  It was absolutely fantastic -- probably the best wedding I've ever been to b/c it was so uplifting.  We walked away feeling full of faith & more in love than when we walked in.  Thank you, Barb!!!
Here's a great picture at the ball game.  Smiths are good looking!
These two kept me quite entertained.  Above they are playing with a ball machine and below they are feeding each other at the Cheesecake Factory.

It may be hard to tell, but this is supposed to be a dinosaur nest at the museum.  They are all doing their own thing, but having a blast!

Hooray for good old American baseball -- & family!!!

Sarah,
That looks like so much fun. It looks like you had a great weekend. Kaelah is so cute. I want to have twins too! You will probably have better luck than me.

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
