Hello

I am missing my photo blog and peeps!  And now I'm leaving for a women's retreat, so no computer...

But I just want to say hi to those who follow my blog and are such an encouragement to me.  We don't yet know when we are traveling, but we've been getting ready as if we are leaving with our agency's March 28th group.  This blog has been sorely neglected...though I have been posting on my other blog, but it has been 5 days since I took a picture!  I have lots of pictures from the week before and after the retreat some of my commitments will lessen...so I'm hoping to catch up a little next week.

But even if not, I really do love every sweet comment and the connections that are made through blogs.  Photography and you photographers have been a real blessing this past year as we tried not to be too anxious about growing our family.  I am working on a present for you all...and if I don't travel in March you may just get it soon.

In the meantime, here is a picture of Sunflower that I took last week.  I have several from a day at the park that I just have not had time to even look at...

She is growing up so fast and is very, very ready to be a big sister!  I miss you all!

Wordless Wednesday

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

45 minutes before my Sunday is over.  Lots of organizing and cleaning done today...including some of my old photos.  It was such a grey week, I'd decided to hunt in my archives...old archives.  You would think I'd have a better choice for music out of 30,000 pictures.

When Sunflower was little it was pretty ROUTINE for her to fall asleep in her carseat, and always with her little hands clutched into fists.  She loves this blanket...called "Knit Blankie" though I'm pretty sure it was crocheted.  We asked her what she would like us to bring her from China and she said a new knit blankie...it is starting to unravel.

Music:

My aunt collects old fashioned toys, including this child piano (and a lot of creepy dolls.)

We start teaching our children TECHNOLOGY at a pretty young age. 

Show Me Your Style:

My boys at 6 and 2.  They've grown-up so much since then!

Sunflower's pigtails are often MISMATCHED.  She isn't still enough for better precision...so we say, embrace the chaos!

I hope you've had a great week.  Ours was pretty good...and one week closer to going to get our daughter (no firm date yet.)
