Found Dahlia in a pouty mood so I threw a hat a scarf on her (funny, that didn't improve her mood at all) and ran for my camera.
The picture below was my entry for this weeks photo challenge at iheartfaces as my best face photo for 2010. I normally would have picked a smiley face but something about this "diva" look spoke to me so I entered it.
And the voting for this challenge is by the public so..........(shameless plug coming)
.......if you're so inclined you could pop over there and vote for....ummm.....mine, if you like. It's number 370. Thanks!! I owe you one.
So, onto some snow bunnies just having some fun in the snow.
"who's your big sister...?"
"wanna kiss?"
a little closer.
Join with Lisa for some great black and white photography.
Here's that kissy picture in blk&wh. I like the way the highlights popped on the tree branches
And "Miss Pouty Diva face" one more time.
She just makes me smile.
Update: A sweet bloggy friend needs our help. Shannon from Daisy Dreams is days away from her referral of her little boy from Ethiopia and nowhere near her fundraising goal to go and get him home. She's holding a raffle at her site - mythreeflowers.blogspot.com with some really great winning items. Hop over and check them out.
Happy Wednesday. Stay warm.
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.

Dancing with the stars.

Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off.
Oh Gee...everything actually!!

Love these and that pouty face! I have to say I'm a bit jealous of your snow...I grew up in the snow and miss it every winter here at the beach! Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family!
Sometimes (only sometimes!) I wish we have snow here, too.
Dahlia puts on a great diva-ish pout... love it! I think I love it just a tad more in B/W! =)
Love the sister kissy face pictures!! I think every girl should have a kissy face picture :) Looks like it's business as usual in your neck of the woods. Enjoy the winter!
Wanda - your girls are so beautiful and the shots truly capture their individual personalities!
Blessings,
Jill

So so sweet!
So cute! Off to vote at I Heart Faces for that cute pout. Jack has requested snow for his birthday later this month, send some down for us, will ya? :)
Happy Wednesday!
Your images just get more and more gorgeous!
How is it possible that sweet girl of yours is so beautiful even with a pouty face? I'm heading over to vote in a minute.
It just boggles my mind that you have so much snow on the ground and I'm looking threw my window at the swaying palm trees and 75 degree weather. I'm sorry...I know that was really mean to write. ;-)
Happy Wednesday Wanda!
Hugs,
Grace
