Kindergarten Graduation

Well....I guess it's time to get off my happy little cloud and get busy again. Though part of me always lives there, I need to pretend to be functioning like a normal person. Huh....what's that? I'm not really fooling anyone, you say! ........oh well........ :)

Amid all the crazy happenings of the last few weeks, Dahlia managed to graduate from kindergarten. Mommy and Daddy are terribly proud of their little girl. She has come so far and all those little things I worried (worry) about just seem to work themselves out in their own time. (Feel free to remind me of this from time to time.)
Belle face!



Each kid did a self-portrait. Too much!

Dahlia seemed so pleased with herself - as she should be!
Ummm.......did I mention she made the honor roll for mathematics! Yep, she did.

Before the grad. all 4 classes put on a little show. (Got it on video, of course.) My cheeks were cramping by the end. I'm such a dork - this kid just does it to me.
They did a little hip hop number too. I was busting by then.
Love that natural joy on her face.

Dahlia, baby girl - Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!

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!!
