Love's Labor's Lost

A portion of the huge rainbow after it stopped raining.
Danny insisted that I include this picture to set the scene.
I am so grateful for random strangers who are willing to take pictures.
Love's Labor's Lost: well, not for us.  Yesterday we were more than happy to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary!  Oh, no!  Not another one of these blog entries!  Why do we all get married in the summer -- it's hot outside!  Anyway, the weather in Boulder was beautiful... once it was done raining... but the show did go on!  My terrific parents babysat precious Kaelah so Dan and I could attend the Colorado Shakespeare Festival to celebrate.  CU really has a nice set-up going on!  We had a lovely picnic on the grass before the show (pre-ordered) and enjoyed one of the Bard's romantic comedies set in pre-WWI New England.  There is just something about live theater, especially in the great outdoors.  Oh, and I must mention these pictures were taken with Dan's anniversary present -- the iPhone he's been waiting so patiently for!!!  I cannot say enough about my wonderful husband... so I won't.  In a nut shell, he's simply perfect for me.  I still don't know how I got so lucky.

Wow, five years. I guess we will celebrate three in September. I can't believe that. And your blog wasn't too mushy or anything. And hooray for you to have a wonderful husband. I'm glad I'm not the only one, that there are quite a few good guys out there. Congrats.

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. (:
