Octonauts, Astronauts, and Play Dough

The number one thing N wanted for her birthday was an astronaut costume and Grandma Karyl tracked one down for her.  She wants mom and dad to dress up like an alien and a rocket ship at Halloween for her.  (:  Grandma also fulfilled her wish for ice cream and her friends at the party fulfilled her Moana wishes.  Almost every day she asked to listen to Moana on cd while looking at the pictures in the book that came with it.  I used a Target Perk to buy the Blu Ray for $15 because I could tell this was going to be the biggest thing since Frozen at our house!
N chose to have an Octonauts birthday parts with a few of her very best friends.  It was a joy to help her celebrate.  This year, since N isn't a big fan of shopping, I took the money Hubby's family sent in the mail and picked out this ice cream set for her.  She loves it so much she won't let it go in the play room kitchen -- it has to remain in her bedroom because it is so special.


It is so cute to see N and her friend that gave her the outfit wearing their Moana clothes on the same day to preschool.  I love how much she loves attending there two mornings a week.

Another friend has inspired her to ride her bike to school more often and I'm loving it.  Gotta get that balance down on this bike before she can move on to the 16" bike waiting for her.

I wasn't planning on this hair cut, but when your preschool decides to give herself a haircut, you go straight to the salon to get it fixed!  N wants bangs but I won't let her!

I've lost her annual check up stats already.  I guess that's what I get for being 2 months behind in my blogging!  I know she's rather tall and super skinny and I love every ounce of her.  She is a joy and is keeping me busy and young at heart.  Love you to the moon and back, N!  Here's to wishing you a wonderful year of being 4 years old!

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

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. (:
