Great weekends

We love to travel and so does McKaden! We had a great weekend up at Whistler and highly recommend it to everyone. There are so many fun things to do and you can walk everywhere. We had fun taking short hikes, going swimming, hitting the spa, great food, seeing Shrek [and McKadens first popcorn!] and enjoying time as a family.

No baby at this house

All week I have been thinking about writing a post about being a mother and mothers day ... but the week is gone and so are my thoughts. On Wednesday I was watching Mac and realizing that there is just nothing baby about her anymore. My baby is grown up! She not only looks like a pre-schooler now, but she acts like one. She loves working in her workbooks, has a pretty decent handle on writing her name [just make sure you have a whole page of paper!], loves her music class, going to gym class with Daddy, eating a whole ice cream cone, getting in her car seat by herself, going potty, getting dressed [almost all by herself], paying hopscotch and putting on her sandals. She likes to bring her plate to the sink after eating, do her chores [fold the washclothes and wash off the coffee table], help in the yard and clean up her toys. What happened? I swear that just a week ago she was 17 pounds, learning to walk and saying "mama". Next week she turns 2 and a half - what is next ... asking to borrow the car??

Springtime

Compare last year and this year ... she has really grown! How we love spring!

Somewhere out there ...

is my brother or sister! It is true, we have started our process to adopt another child from China. We are just in the paperwork stage -SO much easier the second time - and hope to have our documents to China in the next few months. We are keeping our eyes open to waiting children as well as waiting for a non special needs child. Rumor on the street is that the wait for a nsn child could get as long as 30 months!! We will keep you posted on our process.
