Playdate at the Eco-Museum (part 2)

April misc+ecomuseum 040
Nothing says spring better than an fiddlehead fern, just coming out of the ground. (Well....tulips would come a close second for me.)


To me, these fiddleheads look like little people - having a good gab together.


I little bit like these people.

This was our playdate gang a few weeks ago 0 before the weather turned gorgeous. Still chilly but we had fun nonetheless. The four kiddies in the strollers are all kids, back from China within less than 9 months.


You may recognize some long-time bloggers here and for a better look........

I adored your plant analogy ~ your artistic and creative soul always shines right through your posts! R your tulips peeking out just yet? Our's are standing tall and now I will think of you when I take a moment to admire them....I love them so!

AND what a tremendous gift to have this special group to share outings and frienships with ~ how blessed you all are and in so many ways!

I will need to show Lauren the timberwolf as that is her school's mascot ~ she will be thrilled! We are taking the kids to a new zoo (well new for us!) on Tuesday and seeing your photos has me inspired and excited!!

Thanks for sharing!!!!

Great pictures of the moms and their beautiful babes.

That looks like a fun day!

I'm so glad you have friends in the adoption world to spend time with.

I am loving the otters (if you've even felt otter fur, it makes a minky look like sandpaper.

Waiting for kitchen before and after pictures soon!

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!!
