Lazy Summer Days


Enjoying a walk with Daddy through Wegerzyn Gardens. I just love smelling the flowers and am happy to report that I am finally walking on my own now. Not too steady yet, but I'll get there- so watch out!











Fancy meeting you here, halfway around the world!!! That is my friend Micah, who lived in the Chinese orphanage with me. Imagine my surprise when I went to Panda Cubs playgroup and there he was. A very nice family adopted him and he is finally home. Lucky for both of us we only live 45 minutes from one another so we get to visit and play often. It is not too common to have two babies of the same age adopted from the same orphanage that now live so close to one another, so we are very fortunate.




Fun At The Boonshoft Museum- I love going there and exploring, especially that water table. Mommy is probably telling me not to spray her with the water.





Beach Baby- I love being in the pool and splashing everyone.















Channeling Elton John- Don't I look like him with my cool shades and snazzy hat??






Meeting Dora- she is so COOL! I just love that Kings Island place. We've been there seven times so far this summer. I can't wait until next year. If I grow a few more inches, I'll be able to ride lots more fun things.

Ella is well on her way to growing as much as Kira did during her first year home! Watch out, Mommy, you won't get a moment's rest now that Ella is running around! :)

Wow, she is really sprouting up! Glad to hear she is doing so well. Did I hear whisperings about a little brother? I hope to do the same in a year.

I finally signed up here to keep better track of Ella's travels. Ella is so cute walking beside her daddy. And going to all those little field trips with her momma! How cool she found a friend from China!

I hate that you are having no fun with motherhood – who would have thunk?
She is getting so big and prettier every day. I love seeing the new pictures.
