Are you like me?
Do you like "firsts"?
I remember when Dahlia first got on a horses back....how frightened, yet excited she was. Her feelings were only surpassed by....mine. "My baby is so high....what if she falls off....what if the horse kicks me as I walk beside it...just in case she does fall and I have to catch her...." .
Click here to see some pics of Dahlia's first time on a horse (not a thethered pony).
Well, it was Milana's turn this time......and she showed no fear.
And you know what? Neither did I!!!
And......she LOVED it!
Ok...so,the horses were really ponies and they were tethered but nonetheless...I still felt a little pride that my "baby" has so much confidence.
I'm happy to say both my girls have some of the same mindset as I do. "Feel the fear....but do it anyway!"
That's what's happening in my little corner of the world.

Happy Tuesday
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!

Haha...Dita. I've actually relaxed my "rules" and occasionally allow the little one to wear turqouise. I know...I must be losing my mind! ;)
