Day Camps 2019

The day after coming home from Utah and Nevada, Danny had Cub Scout day camp on Friday (Passport to the World theme) and baseball on Saturday.  The entire next week was Kiwa day camp (with a Seasons theme) and then the next week was K's favorite day camp she's ever been too -- CU volleyball with two of her friends (she said the best part was the food).  I have to say Kiwa was my favorite day camp, partially because I got to spend 3 full days there and simply because this is a tradition that is truly enjoyable for everyone except K, who opts to spend time with my mom instead of joining us in singing crazy songs and making fools of ourselves.  One day when K was at a BoCo volleyball clinic that week my mom went in my place so I could get some things done. Thank you, Mom!  
During June we also had puppy training classes (Piper on Wednesdays and Maisie on Saturdays), K and M taking viola lessons, D playing lots of baseball, doctors appointments, play dates, a pool party with the BoCo post adoption support group, N's tutoring sessions with Stacey H., M's horse lessons on Saturdays, D's cello lessons, me subbing in primary, feeding the missionaries, M's first tennis lessons, getting the air conditioner fixed, the puppies groomed, and picking up K's scooter from Play it Again Sports.  Yes, the scooter that was stolen over a year ago showed up there and they called us up and said we could have it back after we gave a statement to the police.  What a nice surprise!  Meanwhile, Hubby has had a super busy time at work and we miss him but are so proud of him.  It was great to celebrate him and my dad on Father's Day!




The day Maisie & Piper turned 4 months old was quite entertaining.  We had N's friends A & Y and their puppy over to play so the two of us moms definitely felt like we were chaperoning a party.  Piper also gave us quite a scare when she decided to help me with the dirty dishes, pulled a steak knife out of the dishwasher, and began running around the house with it.  Imagine a puppy coming straight at you with the pointy end of the knife sticking out!  (Luckily no puppies or humans were hurt.).  Later that week when I went to Jaymie's bridal shower I had to buy her the knives and cutting boards that were on her gift registry to mark the time my puppy came after us with a knife!

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. (:
