Heat Wave

January 13, 2010 found us at our favorite park enjoying 50 degree weather. What a wonderful day! Danny loved this bench for some reason. (:
Since there was only one other family there Kaelah was as brave as can be & enjoyed going down our park's biggest slide over & over. She nicknamed it, "Kaelah's slide." (:
Happy swinging children!

On Saturday the 16th our family biked to Blue Skies park & had a picnic. Kaelah was thrilled to be riding a bike for the first time in months. I think this was also my first real exercise in months! On the way home we biked up a hill & I turned around & told Dan to remind me never to gain 50 pounds. lol.
This was also baby Danny's first time in the bike trailer as it was designed to be (not rigged for the infant car seat). He really enjoyed being able to see out, but in excellent fashion fell asleep almost instantly regardless of the new view. (;
I love having Kaelah to get me out & doing things. And boy, this little camera Dan bought me for Christmas sure is coming in handy!

Hooray for bike rides! We need to start doing that again here. We have a two-seater trailer, that way I can take the kids out on my own. But boy are they sure heavy! P.S. We have the same booster seat for Bryant that you have for Danny J.

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. (:
