Oh my goodness…THANK YOU for all your kind comments yesterday. It took a beautifully long time to read them all! I really wish I could share with you her sweet face…soon. We are walking on sunshine around here. This week has been a whirlwind of goodness and walking in a daze (which means totally ‘unproductive’).
I can hardly believe March is already here. I’m still plunking away at my photo a day of something I’m grateful for….
here is February’s photos.
* our trampoline * cookie dough when I’m sad our dossier is still in the US * Grandma Merle * sibling love * girl’s night out * DTC (dossier to China) * distractions while running * the preschool years * skipping school for an impromptu lunch date * my man * a 7 year old’s book * our adoption timeline & my Little One are in His hands * just enough snow for snowball fights * annual Valentine’s strawberries from my dad * Lego men everywhere in our house * sliding with my daughter * Kimberlee’s cheesecake & coffee at 9:23pm * digging through junk with new and old friends * last stoplight on the way home * proper Star Wars attire to see the 3D movie * he’s practicing math and not me * a ladybug in the sink * piggy tails * LID (Logged In in China) * a day full of hope & smiles & anticipation & puffy clouds * handsome serving me breakfast in bed * that they haven’t figured out how to get on the roof of the house yet * he’s more than just a companion * a new Song in my heart * sunny skies and a 3 ft tall superhero – best way to enjoy morning coffee *
A bit unrelated, but do you see the bottom center photo? Katie Daisy is part of a new app Artogram…I can send friends artograms with a note and beautiful illustrations. I sent myself one and then cropped it in Instagram for my photo that day
