So, I was browsing through old pictures and videos last night and came across these 2 clips. Just days after arriving home from China back in December 2004. A good reminder just how squirmy and wormy my little Dahlia was.
Which then reminded me to get my head in gear for the possiblity of another squirmy, wormy little bundle of energy.
Seeing Baby Dahlia this tiny makes my heart just lurch with anticipation.
I'll never get over this fact: China is giving us a human being, an actual person, a little bundle of beauty and love and all that good stuff (oh, and some nasty too...let's call it like it is).
No bigger gift than this!

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!!

Of course I meant to add how GORGEOUS those pics are! So tiny!!!!! It all goes so quickly! How fortunate you will be to have a baby in the house again!!!! Can I come and snuggle? I mean Milana of course! My baby fix! LOL
I'm excited for/with you! Sometimes the thought that we have our children from Ukraine/China is so overwhelming - that they are here in the flesh as our children and we LOVE them! oohhhh it gives me chills! The not-so-nice parts are like the crumbs from chocolate cake, messy but still worth it!
Hugs :)
