A BIG Happy Birthday to you daddy & sweetie!


I started dance class


I can do this . . .
and this . . . I make my routine up as I go . . .

I also pick out my outfit.  I thought it would be fun to wear my tutu bathing suite in January with clogs!  It is so much fun and my mommy gets to dance along with me!

Aaah, The Weekend. . . .


sleeping in
homemade blueberry waffles
making brunch after early service with my little helper
fresh air and time in the winter garden
watching my little one play in her sandbox
nap time & snuggles
puzzles
feeding the ducks
our lab swimming in the lake
 eating her worth of bread crumbs from the bridge
rocky road ice cream on a cone
family game of candy land
bath time
singing, dancing, giggling at bedtime
L O V E  IT!

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day

Two years ago today, you were placed in our arms. Our hearts and lives were forever changed! Some may wonder if God is real because they can't see Him.  But I know He is for many reasons, but one of them is you. 
We love you Liliah YingXia
