Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land,
For the cunning and the strength of the workingman's hand,
For the good that our artists and poets have taught,
For the friendship that hope and affection have brought -
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with purest affection are blest,
For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest,
For our country extending from sea to sea,
For the land that is known as "Glorious and Free!"
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped,
For the labor well done and the barns that are heaped,
For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb,
For the rose and the song and harvest brought home -
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land,
For the cunning and the strength of the workingman's hand,
For the good that our artists and poets have taught,
For the friendship that hope and affection have brought -
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with purest affection are blest,
For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest,
For our country extending from sea to sea,
For the land that is known as "Glorious and Free!"
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!

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.

Painting. Hugs.
Long chats with my buds.

Oh Gee...everything actually!!

I wondered if you had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend. I love that your Thanksgiving is a little earlier than ours so the weather is still somewhat warm. That is nice. The girls are beautiful and the flower is gorgeous. I am glad you have a family that has so much love in it! XO
That is such a beautiful pale pink!
We were talking about Thanksgiving activity in Z's school and my husband said, "But Thanksgiving is over!" I told him that he had to get his head around that it's American Thanksgiving that her school is celebrating. ;p
What magnificent pink rose!
Your baby girl is Beautiful....♥
