Tuesdays......Around the World!

The other day, I caught Dahlia in a very impromptu moment dancing away in our family room. Her CD player was playing the beautiful music from Swan Lake as she flitted around the floor.

Dahlia has been taking ballet lessons for 6 years now and I think she enjoys the time spent there with her BFF, Angel more than she does the dancing.

But every so often she becomes inspired and will perform little recitals for us as we scramble for the camera and video camera.

She is even teaching little Milana some steps and we may just be able to coax her into starting dance in September this year. Last year met with wails and cling-on behavior so we opted to wait the year out. But Milana now wants to copy everything big sis is doing so dance we all will.

Live, Love, Travel


Next time I'll try and capture both girls twirling about. Funny how I can still just stare at them for hours. I suppose that may never end.

Nice way to spend the time!

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!!
