Best Friends

By Sarah
I've noticed there are so many people and normal stuff that just doesn't make it into the blog in proportion to how often we are with them or experience something.  For instance, I've been going to church almost my entire life & I probably have half a dozen pictures to show for it.  Just an example.  On to what this is really about: saying good-bye to Kaelah's best friend.  Oh, California, why did you have to offer such an enticing job to her daddy?
 On their last day together us 2 moms & the 5 children spent about 5 hours at the park & at McDonald's.  Running away from the bad guy (Danny), playing in the sand, playing tag, eating lunch, and the actual good-bye.  B. was so upset she began bawling & then her mom, K. started crying and I ended up promising B. we would come visit her in California.  Luckily hubby said that was ok for me to take Kaelah for a weekend.  We'll probably wait until after Labor Day to avoid the summer rush at Disneyland, though.  I wouldn't want to fly all that way and not take those 2 princess-loving girls to eat at Ariel's Grotto in the CA Adventure Park.  (;  Until then, we will miss the L. family terribly.  We already do.

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. (:
