Nap time in the car!Last weekend we went home to celebrate two birthday's. One was my Papa's, he turned 90, I know 90! I am blessed that Lilee has the love of Grandparents AND Great Grandparents!!! The other was my nephew Eli who turned 7. It was really nice to see all my family & my sister & brother in law flew in from Florida. We had so much fun. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera at my Papa's party, but it was a wonderful celebration of him & it was neat to see all my extended family :D
After that it was party time for Eli! Of course Lilee was much more animated there because there wasn't as many people. She feels really comfortable around her "core" family groups, but she is still really shy around lots of people she doesn't see very often. Luckily, I did have my camera for that party!
What? Doesn't everyone do this at parties?
Come on Daddy, everyone is doing it!
Excuse me Zaiah, but I think you need a sticker!
Okay then, I'll hold on to you while you go potty so you don't fall in!
A nap at 6:30pm isn't too late is it? By the way....did you notice Aunt Sarah has on the stickers too!
Two silly Monkey's!
Sisters!I just want to say how blessed I am to have my sisters! We went out just the girls & our husbands & we had so much fun. I love having sisters, especially THESE sisters :D
On Sunday after Church Lilee spent some time with her other cousins Sarah & Amber, we got some really good pictures.
THEN.....we went to our good friend Melissa & Shawn's house for a little Chinese New Year get together. Their daughter is Leah or Weewah (per Lilee). As Melissa says, our girls are destined to be forever friends. They are a wonderful family & I pull strength from Melissa. She is so uplifting & positive, her outlook is amazing. I'm thankful to be able to call her my friend :D
Here are a few pictures she took of us (one of her other talents...she is an amazing photographer & we will probably have her take some more family shots of us in the spring)
The love of my life!
True love!

OMG..first, you had such a crazy busy weekend last weekend, I'm honored you found time to carve out for our shin-dig. AND I so don't deserve those sweet words..I'm blushing!! :O
You are such a doll and you all mean so much to Shawn, Me and Leah. WE were destined to be forever friends the day we met about 2 years ago in the fingerprint office. I love how our adoptions have introduced us to such wonderful experiences and people. Just plain incredible.
Love the song, absolutely gorgeous. Spring pictures are a given...you all are too beautiful of a family not to have lots.
Talk to you soon!
Melissa
