Unhappy Half B-day but Happy Fair

Meigo hasn't been getting a whole lot of attention since our newest addition came alone. She's actually being treated more like a dog. lol. She's an angel of a dog & I thought it would be nice if Meigo could have some special attention on September 22nd b/c it was her half b-day. Here's the new rope toy she got as a present. Then Grandma was nice enough to take her out to run in the cold. Meigo mysteriously got hurt when she went to the dog park. The same thing had happened to her 2.5 years ago, so I didn't even try to figure it out this time. Our best guess is she ran into the fencing to hard while chasing the ball. We'll never really know, though.
Meigo had to have 4 stitches. Here she is right after coming home. (The t-shirt keeps her from having to wear a cone.) Unhappy half-birthday! I'm just glad my mom noticed she was hurt b/c Meigo was having too much fun to say anything. That's a lab for you, I guess!On the 26th we made our annual journey to the Harvest Fair. Kaelah has become such a daddy's girl since her little brother joined the family. I feel so grateful he hasn't been having to work OT this month. We love Daddy!
Once again the Michaelmas play & the tractor ride were the biggest hits. Kaelah is really into tractors or any sort of big thing that moves right now. Actually, she said our morning prayer today & asked to protect Daddy & see a school bus. That's what's important to her! Don't worry, Danny & Meigo & I got prayed over at lunch time (along with the Legos & coloring), so our feelings weren't hurt. (;Since we forgot to bring cash to the fair we treated ourselves to smoothies & Wahoo's. If I ever feel like Kaelah hasn't been eating enough, all we have to do is go there & she'll pig out! I think part of it is the outdoor patio with big yellow umbrellas to eat under. I don't think we'll be eating under those anytime soon with all this snow. Brrrr.

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. (:
