Mother's Day 2011

There is nothing I don't love about being a Mom.













Yes, even when they barge through my bathroom door when I am....ahem....otherwise indisposed, with no regard for my state of dress (or undress) and regardless of what I am doing - eager for hugs and kisses and to share some latest tidbit.

But this year, I received THE best Mother's Day gift of all.












I over-heard Dahlia, talking to herself.












I heard her say something, totally unsolicited and unprovoked.













" I love my sister!!.......even when she bugs me."













And then I heard the angels sing!

The fam took me out to our favorite spot. And this was the first time I just brought my purse. No diaper bag, no toy bags, no video, no nothing.













We just ate and talked and when needed.....played paddy cake.













I think we're entering into an new era.







Here's a little trip down the lane of Mother's Day past.
(I'm misssing a few and have been desperately trying to find them in this labyrnth called my computer.)

How sweet! What a beautiful family you have. Your girls are just precious! Love the pink dresses. SO cute! And she loves her sister... priceless. ♥

Oh WAN.....this picture is absolutely spectacular...no doubt about it....my favorite to date!

Your girls are stuck to you like glue...just as they are in real life. Your outer beauty is beyond stunning but it just pales in comparison to the woman you are inside...in everything you do. And your girls know JUST how lucky they are that they and they alone get to call you Mommy!

Happy Mother's Day, my beloved friend.

xoxoxoxo
I adore 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!!
