Snow White or Mara-Grace???

This photo was taken over the weekend on a family walk in Ottawa.

Mara-Grace's FLY BOAT!

Mara-Grace has been asking her Daddy if they could make a fly boat. She had it all designed in her head. Right down to the marble, mast and wheels!!!!! Here it is!

Growing in my Heart....

We have always tried very hard to tell Mara-Grace her special story about her birth and history etc...

So, last night we were meeting Kevin and as we were waiting for him (in the car) Mara-Grace totally out of the blue (that seems to always be the way) says, "So, Mama, I forget..... when you were born in China who met you to bring you home again?????"..... Wow..... So I say, "Well, remember Mara, Mama grew in Granny's tummy. I wasn't born in China." Before I can say anything more she says, "Oh that's right Mama. And I grew in your heart. And your heart is big enough! Big enough for me, and for baby Hannah, and Tori, and Daddy and Lady... everyone!"

Such an incredibly sweet moment........

Changing backgrounds....

Ok, I am truly having a great time changing the backgrounds! Anyone who really knows me knows I adore decorating the house for the different seasons, and well, here we are! LOL

Fall is in the air.... I am definitely in the nesting mode lately. I have been sorting, cleaning, getting ready for Miss Hannah to come home....More on this later.

I have just posted on our other blog the wonderful news that we have received our "letter seeking confirmation" today. We expect to travel to China in 6-8 weeks from now. What an incredible gift..... we are so so thankful tonight.
