This has to be one of my favorite captures of Milana - taken recently at a beautiful atrium area in our shopping center.
My friend Helen and I dressed up our girls in Easter fancies and took to the mall. We've done this many times since we've both gotten our girls. (Two each.)
And I'll likely post more from that day but I need to finish up so much editing and work....and then maybe even catch some sleep.

Meanwhile, enjoy a little trip around the world today!
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!

Oh, how soft and beautiful! What a pretty mall you must have too!
Oh my goodness!!!!!!! What a beautiful photo.
I have been reading your blog from time to time since you were waiting for Milana. I must say you are so beautiful as is your very beautiful family. The girls are just perfect.
I think your photos are just wonderful. Some of the images are exquisite. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I too am an adoptive Mom of 3, but also a bio. Mom of 5. I am now a grandmother too. Before retiring I taught elementary school and also a year of teaching special ed high school kids. Mostly though I was a stay at home Mom with a part time job as a reading specialist when my youngest went to high school.
Those blue hydrangeas are spectacular...as is the little beauty in the foreground of course.
Your photographs continue to wow. Hope all is well up your way!
