Black and White Wednesday.......almost Easter.......

Flowers 004-2 blog







We are in Easter prep mode here. Every morning Dahlia reminds me that the Easter bunny is coming "soooooonnnnnnnnn Mommy"! In fact - she was in my face this morning at 6 something, counting down the days.










(I'm trying to remind her the real reason behind Easter, without bursting her bubble, but she's got a one-track mind when it comes to chocolate.)

Check out Lisa's post for those adorable kiddos at the park. Ceeeeeute!

But, it is Easter week and we have lots of plans. Decorating Easter eggs with our buddies (an annual must) some photo ops of course, dinner with great friends, Easter egg hunts and some time in church - remembering and celebrating the real reason.

That bubble picture is so awesome!! They are all beautiful as usual - but the first one makes me REALLY want to know what she is thinking - oh those eyes of hers...

Happy Easter to you and your family too! My girls have really high hopes for the Easter Bunny this year. Let's hope he can live up to them.

Gorgeous shots of Dahlia and Milana, Wanda! :)

When I told Josh that I would not be hiding eggs in the house this year, he demanded to know how we would celebrate Easter. I had to explain to him that Easter is not really about the Easter bunny and Easter eggs, =) Happy Easter to you and your family.

the Lola Letters said...

Oh my goodness Wanda! I LOVE your hydrangeas! How absolutely perfect! I hope you and the girls (and of course your husband as well : ) have a very fun Easter! : ) I got Kaishon the best basket. It looks like a monkey! I can't wait to give it to him on Easter morning. He told me he is too big this year to go on Easter Egg hunts : ( I think I am showing up as Lola because I just did our Communal Global post. Would you mind putting a link to it on facebook? Love, Becky

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!!
