HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I do think it's impossible to top 2009 for us....It was the year that our family was complete. Happy New Year everyone!!

ENJOYING THE HOLIDAY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

AVA'S WINTER FUN?

We're going outside in that white stuff??

Okay, I'm up for anything.....

This isn't so bad, but it sure is cold here.

Hmmm, what do we do now??

I've fallen and I can't get up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are you supposed to walk in this crap?

I thought I said in my paperwork that I wanted to live in a warm climate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter really lasts THAT long??!!

You can eat this stuff?

Okay, I'll bite.

I hope you realize, I'm NOT having fun with this.

FIRST VISIT WITH SANTA/SIX MONTHS A FAMILY

I was shocked that Ava actually sat on Santa's lap today....AND without any tears or arms flailing every which way...That's the most shocking part! I do think that it helped that I told Santa that it was probably a REALLY good idea if he would give Ava the candy cane at the beginning of their visit, instead of the end. ;)

Today also marks six months that we have been a family. This little girl has brought so much joy into our lives...She was worth every single second of the wait. I can hardly believe it's already been six months since she was first placed in our arms. Sometimes it feels like yesterday...Other times it feels like she's been here forever.
