Fashion Friday

It was "party time" last Sunday. We were invited to a very special baptism and Dahlia was so excited to pick out her outfit. She just LOVES dresses, and the frillier the better (which is a bit odd because she use to be more of a jock but she sure has changed - girly all the way!). She just loved how this whole thing looked and stood there waiting for me to grab my camera.........so, gee....I obliged. Thought I would try a neutral backdrop so I hung a wrinkled sheet.


(click to enlarge - for even more cuteness!)

Now, this (below) is what I had wanted her to wear, so I talked her into trying it on but she nixed it. I was hoping to get one more wear out of it as it's a size 4 but she wanted the other.
(I only fight the big battles.)

Good of her to indulge me with a little pose.

We took it outside and even though this shot was taken in the deep shade (I mega lightened it in editing) I love how I caught her as she whipped around. She's a pro!


So that's my girlie for this week. Check out the Salsa site for lots more fun with the twinados!



And check back here soon - we are hours/days away from receiving our referral for Milana........at last !

Update: Referrals have been received in Europe - they're on their way here!

Beautiful dresses, both. Your adding a backdrop makes the photos look professional! :)

And yes, definitely pick your battles. I'm learning, I'm learning.

I also have an athletic girl who recently insists on "TWIRLY DRESSES ONLY." ;)

Cute pics and gorgeous girly!

Both dresses are beautiful on her. I don't suppose you could figure out mrlinky and keep the fashion fridays going?

psychohist,

Oh, I think I'll leave that to M3. She'll probably pick it up again when the twins are more inspired.

Not that I won't run for my camera when my Dahlia does her dress-up posing. We're having way too much fun to let that drop.

Thanks for asking!

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!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
