and
attending Dahlia's 4th (that's fourth, people) ballet recital - the week just flew.
So we grabbed a few hours late Sunday afternoon and headed up north to Mr Tremblant for an over-nighter as Dahlia had a school day off on Monday.
And I grabbed (hmmmm....doing a lot of grabbing lately. What does that mean?) a few pictures while we were there.
This was the view from our balcony at about 8:45 in the evening.
Had to show you the color of the sky.
OK....one more time.
...and this was the next morning.
Some great architecture. (Felicia...are you drooling?)
And look who wants out? "Hey Mom....what's out there?"
OK....all together now...
"AWWWHHHhhhh........."
:)
Don't forget to scoot on over to Lisa's for some great photography.
I have a whack of photos from our tiny trip to Tremblant that I'll post later in the week in color.
That is, if this week doesn't zzzzzing by me!
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.

Long chats with my buds.

Dancing with the stars.
So you think you can dance.
Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off.
Oh Gee...everything actually!!

I'm super behind on my blog posting too. Totally failed to blog about Kindergarten graduation! Bad blogger mommy!
Your photos are beautiful (as always). All of the lines and angles and corners on buildings play up so well with the stark contrasts of black and white.
Love the door reflections too!
See you in 7 weeks! ;)

Great pictures as always! I have been a big fan of your blog for some time now and I'm super excited to meet you in person along with the other girls! I'm a little nervous to be around such great photographers such as yourself!
Fabulous pictures! That last one is priceless!
Hope your week is wonderful!
Beautiful place and beautiful pictures! Architecture looks really good in black and white eh? Nicely done!
Okay it's my turn to be totally jealous! I so wish I could be attending Lisa's workshop too. You are going to learn so much and on top of it meet some really great woman. Hopefully one day we'll be able to meet too. Love your photos today. The location looks fabulous! Yes your little ones are way too cute!
Yes I am drooling...love all the photos but the architecture and angles...dreamy :)
What a week indeed!!!!!
How exciting Dahlia! In one week you lost your tooth AND you had a dance recital!!!!!!!! Way to go Sweetie Pie!
Now, seriously Wanda... I bet that your week has indeed raced by! And your heart along with it! I can understand the drama involved in the 'glorious' loose tooth adventures! And the swell of all the emotions involved in watching our little ladies in a recital is incredible.
I LOVE the photots of your getaway! As always, I sighed at the sheer cuteness factor of your little ladies!!!!
Enjoy! xoxxo

That last picture.... AWWWWW! That's such a wonderful moment. Great capture!
I completely understand about the tooth drama, as Grace has only lost 4 teeth so far...and she has about 4 more loose right now.
And how great that you could spend some time away for a long weekend, love ALL of these. But the last one is my absolute fav!!! too cute!
Hope you're having a great week!

Oh your pictures are so striking, and that last picture melted me. Aww.
Great pictures Wanda!! That last one of your girls is so so sweet!! What a beautiful place for a get away.
The architecture is beautiful and the BW compliments it so well. The girls are beautiful too in BW. Nice work.
Hey!!! I'm so looking forward to meeting you at the workshop! You have a beautiful family! And I love your photos... the architecture shots are divine!
Wonderful photos Wanda! I love the picture with your children looking out of the door. Beautiful! Have a great day!
Mama Hen
my favorite picture is the one with your children looking through the door. Super sweet pictures!!
What a beautiful town to escape to! However, as beautiful as it is, the beauty of the town can't compete with the view INTO the windows and those 2 cutie pies on the balcony. Glad you had fun.
oooooohhhhhhh love all the beautiful architecture, perfect in b&w (though I do love seeing the gorgeous skies!)- but your beautiful girls is my fave :)
I'm always behind posting. I've given up.
Hey Wanda! I used to sing when I did theater. I am more of a character than anything! I love to perform! But I have never considered myself a singer. I just love to sing, especially with my daughter and when I taught elementary school. I sing with my daughter all day long! I am more of an actress and my gift is dancing. I just ended up doing a lot of musicals and of course that included singing! That is wonderful that you are a singer! Your children must love it! Tell me more about it when you can! Have a great night!
Mama Hen
Beautiful pictures and so "sharp"! Love the cuties too!
Alyzabeth's Mommy

Any way, I love all your shots (as usual!). Those are great architectural angles there.
