The basement is finished!

I've had so many people ask me about the basement I decided to take & post lots of pictures. Hopefully they will speak for themselves. I just have 2 notes: soooo very glad we could hire a magnificent contractor. Also, my husband is a genius. When the wall to the mechanical room & bathroom went in, we couldn't fit our sofa & old tv in the room anymore. We thought about buying a flat screen, but to hang it on the wall the sofa wouldn't fit right because of the support beam. So, we now own a projector & a huge screen that comes out of the ceiling. Watching something on Blu Ray is amazing! You should have seen me watching Tron Legacy on that thing. Well, I have to admit Tangled looked great too. (It's the children's new favorite movie.) And this solution was great b/c it cost the same amount as the flat screen TV I was amazed by at the store. Thank goodness I married a problem solver.























This brings our square footage up to 2,000 & we're really enjoying having a cozy place that is exactly the way we wanted it. Well, except for when Meigo peed all over it. That was disappointing & laborious to clean up!

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. (:
