Finally getting to practice with my new camera. I have no idea (yet) what I'm doing but I love the fact I can see every little teeny weeny eyebrow hair ('cause I love every one of them).
I needed a model for my photography course assignment this week so I asked Dahlia to be my "model". I explained she needed to follow my instructions and be very still. She seemed into it so I went farther and asked if I could hire her and she said "sure - 2 dollars" . It's a deal! After I took the shots I needed (and no I won't be showing them!) I suggested some dress-up time and she obliged readily. (For some background perspective - this is a kid who did anything but oblige any camera coming toward her - so we've come a long way baby!)So, here's my darling, gorgeous, can't get enough of that face, daughter. I think Double Happiness and the Tongginator inspired me today. They recently posted some gorgeous shots of their darlings all dolled up.
...and lovin on Zizi.
Some Easter shots. This is the last time Dahlia will have to hunt for eggs by herself. Next year she can show her little mei mei all her tricks. Sigh...........
Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
