Sunday Kaelah turned 2 years & Danny turned 6 weeks old. Look at this great smile she's giving Grandpa after a special dinner. And in case you're wondering, the cake is a giant, yummy peach, courtesy of Grandma. (: It was fun to see Kaelah enjoying unwrapping gifts. She got lots of things for her play kitchen & liked them so much she immediately put them away where they belonged. Kaelah, you are awesome.
A shot of Gma & Gpa. I am so glad they moved here!!! Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without them.
Daddy's big gift to Kaelah: a rocking horse that also neighs & clip-clops. She loves it -- as long as Mom or Dad are standing right there & the riding session doesn't last too long. That's our girl!
Kaelah is such a blessing in our lives. She makes me laugh every day and her smiles & giggles are worth a million dollars to me. Of course, having just turned 2, I keep telling her she's going to drive me to drinking as well. (; Kaelah is my sunshine and helps make me feel so blessed to be a mother, even when I'm exhausted. I am grateful on her birthday and always for the righteous sacrifice her birth mother made. Looking back, I wouldn't want my life any other way. Love you, Kaelah!

Okay, I am so excited to see you guys when we come through. I have a feeling our girls will get along splendidly. Abigail is getting a play kitchen for her birthday, and I know she would love a rocking horse. But she isn't getting one.

CUTE!! I just have such affection for that little girl. I wonder if she will ever know how much she is loved and adored by all!

Sarah you look fantastic with a double stroller. Sorry about the pooping in the middle of the street. My dog prefers to poop on lawns, but only if the neighbor is watching. He's an exhibitionist.

I love the picture with the signs! Somehow I don't think it would be as cute if I did it with a 28. Oh well.

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
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

By Sarah
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!

By Sarah
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. (:
