School's Out

One year of co-op preschool down, at least one year to go.  We celebrated at our park and I was amazed how well M was able to keep up with the bigger kids.  She has really been growing fast.

Happy preschool graduation, K!  She often talks to me about being nervous to start kindergarten at a new place with new people but I think she will do great.  We have a friend in her class and she has matured a lot in the past year.  I am so grateful we gifted her a year to begin school.  I think she'll be able to enjoy it now.
Stacey's Preschool had their annual ice cream social and even the baby had a great time.
And for one wonderful afternoon K & D spent lots of time jumping through the study window, running through the front door, across the porch and then doing it over and over again.  We all like the house already.  We've met all of our neighbors now and they seem nice and fun loving.  A big group of us were talking together and like the idea of having block parties, so I think we are going to love our neighborhood.  Too bad things keep having to be fixed!  I am letting go of hope that we are all moved in before school starts.  Good thing we aren't moving far so it won't be a huge issue!

I'm so proud of "my" Laurels graduating from high school!  I know I will miss them just like I miss the college ladies who have gone before them but can't help be excited for what lies ahead in their lives.  They all earned their YW medallions, which makes the Personal Progress adviser in me super happy.  Going to their parties was a lot of fun too.  Congrats A, C, & L!

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. (:
