As we were leaving for school this morning, I usually have a firm hold on Milana's hand (cause she's a wild thang) but this morning I must have been distracted. So, as I was fumbling with the key to lock the front door I hear Dahlia shouting "runaway kid - runaway kid!"
She didn't get far but I find Dahlia's little quotes so funny. She's full of them and if I don't start posting some of them.....well.......you know the rest.
A little art project from Milana's little school.
I love the month of May (and June, definately my favs) but one of the things I like about the winter months is a tree in silouette. I love their bare bone branches and the shapes they form.
And I love the little notes I find all over the house from the first munchkin who made me a "mom".
Apparently even Zizi the cat thinks I'm pretty ok.
I warned you, there's no rhyme or reason here.
So, I'll end with a little tease for my upcoming Wednesday's Black and White post.
Have I whetted your appetite?
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.

Seriously Wanda! I am just so glad you get to be their mama! I LOVE their clothes! I think you would be the most fantastic mother on the planet. You ooze love! And you ooze patience for runaway kids! : ) That cracks me up!
I love all the snippets of your everyday life, Wanda! I remember the sweet notes from your trip to the workshop last year! Your Dahlia is a sweetheart! I'm sure you keep every single one too :)
Laughing at the Runaway comment, Lusting after the cocoa balls of who-knows-what, and trying to imagine (in my A/C home) what it is like to wear a winter coat.
they are so sweet in their coats!

Love this post. Love that first photo!! Those coats are too cute on you little ones!
Your girls are precious, Wanda! LOVE these photos.
I agree about the coats - - - I WANT one in my size just like the dark one!
We still have plenty of bare bone branches 'round here - - - come on over.
LOVE your pictures.
Why don't they make nice coats like those for us adults, right? Your girls are adorable and very sweet. Great images, as always, Wanda. =)
Yeah, those cutes are pretty stylin'.
Love notes to Mom...it's a beautiful thing.
