Well.....it seems the times have been changed for this challenge and it now opens on Sunday and closes Monday night. My bad.
Please note: No children were hurt or tramatized in the making of this image. (Ok....just sayin'.)
Even though there was still snow on the ground, the sun was shining and the park was calling our name. Dahlia is a monkey (as you well know) and little sister needs, craves, must or she will die, likes to do everything big sis does.
So Daddy obliged and hoisted her up to the monkey bars and took 2 steps back. I had been snapping anything that moved so I got this shot just as she was yelling "Hey, Dad......what do I do now. Remember me?" (in her own language to which only we are privy to).
Ahhh....... a tiny moment in life.
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!

Love your disclaimer at the beginning! and happy you rescued your little monkey from the bar. Fun times with our children, wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole wide world!

Such a cutie! Do you still have the snow, or did you take this photo a while back?
Nope - snow is finally gone. This was about 2 weeks ago.
=)
And a beautiful moment at that. Just think..you will blink and she will be standing as tall as that bar. (sigh)

Oh my gosh! This made me laugh SO hard Wanda! She is so cute. And she really does look like she is saying "HELP ME! : )'
That just cracks me up! I can't help but wonder how Dahlia handles little sis needing to do everything she does... It drives Hanna absolutely bananas :)
Oh yes.....Dahlia too. right around the bend.
