Black and White Wednesday......with some RED thrown in!

Country road & Red Hat 154
I needed something red for the iheartfaces photo challenge this week so I grabbed this hat and had a little fun.


Country road & Red Hat 131-2

Here's a little Dahlia quote.

The other day Dahlia was munching on some chocolate as we began her homework and I asked her a question. A long pause ensued - and with eyes still closed she held up a finger and said

"I'm having a moment"

I'm not very chatty - for no good reason.

Sometimes words are superfluous. Don't you think?

These are so adorable...each and every one is just gorgeous. I like her outfit (or is it a fan) that she has on...that just compliments the hat! And the two sneeky ones..LOVE them. Lucky, lucky girl to receive those beautiful flowers...and love the contrast in the black and white one of the rose.

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!!
