It's
.... and I converted a few more of my pictures from a couple of sessions awhile back.
Between our
Ahem!
Here are a few more pictures from our China trip. This was the entrance to the restaurant in our hotel in Hangzhou. I've always loved rounded entryways. They speak to me.
Come on in - something wonderful lays inside.
Dahlia found some angel goldfish. Had to put her finger in the water.
Gorgeous wooden carved table and chairs.
We found this little secluded garden outside the hotel. Dahlia and I enjoyed our little get-aways.

Just a little reminder, in case you haven't been by.
March 1st marked one year since I opened my blog and I'm having a give-away to celebrate. So go here to enter. (Hmmm...this link doesn't seem to be working. The give-away is on my post from Monday-March 1st. Just one down from here.)
And Happy Wednesday!
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!!

Love the processing of the first two pictures. What software do you use? I just bought Photoshop Elements and am TOTALLY lost!!!!

I look forward to your black and white pics. I LOVE the China pics. That is somewhere I have never been. Very pretty architecture for sure. Thanks for sharing your journeys, both at home and abroad! Have a great day!
Wow! What gorgeous pictures again! The girls are just beautiful!
Disjointed...sounds so much better though...Don't you think?
Happy Birthday!!
That first one? So gorgeous. And a title popped into my head - 亲亲 - I know, so creative. Heh.
(And that's qin, qin, meaning kiss.)
Beautiful pictures of the girls and China. Hope you all enjoy your March break!

Oh, just beautiful, just as always. I love M's gorgeous pouty lips ~ you know big girls pay big money for what she ( and yes, our Tyler) are blessed with naturally! :)
AND to have shared all of this glory WITH everything that's going on....well, you just amaze me my friend!
Happy early b-day to your beautiful M too! AND I hope your day was spent with much love and pampering!
What precious gift you have been blessed with.
always love to look at your photos.
all the pictures are beautiful but I have to say that first picture...oh my gosh!!!! It's so beautiful!!!!
That first photo is breathtaking! I love all of them, but that one really speaks to the heart!
Great shots!
Oh how I love looking at your little girls. I never get tired of seeing their photos. I'm sure you feel exactly the same way and then some!
The two of Milana are amazing! She is so adorable with the flower in her hair. You really are doing a great job with your photography.
Happy Wednesday!
Beautiful photos as always. And your trip pictures make me want to visit China oh so bad! You've gotta stop doing this to me, ha ha.
Stunning my friend, the first one is my absolute favorite!!! You captured that special moment so well!
And Happy Wednesday and Birthdays!
Ahhh... sisterly love! It's a joy to behold (even if we have to bribe them to pose like that for photos). ;)

Lovely...never ever tire of looking at your pictures:)
Very sweet
Pure sweetness! Your girlies are sooo cute! You've outdone yourself with your China photos too. I too love those circular entrances, they are so unique!
Beautiful! That first shot really needs to be framed.
I'm so jealous of thr big hair flowers. They always add so much to a picture and my girls refuse to wear them.
I always like to see your China pictures too. Makes think I was there ;)
Happy Blogiversary!
Very nice pictures! Thank you for sharing and HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!!
The one of your girls is so sweet! The one of Milana with the flower needs to be in a frame! Gorgeous! I always love your China photos!
Thanks for sharing these, so fun!
I absolutely love the first photo of the two girls together (they are adorable by the way!). What a very sweet, tender moment.
Oh your girls, they're just beautiful. That first one is precious and as always, I am so enjoying your China pictures!
LOVE the first picture the most today. PRECIOUS!
How do you choose a favorite when each one is showing such emotion. Your love for them seeps through the lens and they willingly give it back in spades.
Captured moments.
I also appreciate a grand entrance. One that says Come in and Welcome boldly and loudly.
Hope the reno is coming along and on time.
Love Valerie
I love your photos and your girls Wanda! You are just amazing at your craft! And happy birthday to everyone - enjoy!
Now that is a picture of love. I so enjoy sweet sibling photos like yours. I also love the rounded entryway. Just beautiful!
Your girls are simply breathtaking! Love their pictures. And you KNOW I love your China pics!
