4H Festival

A lovely day at the pool......

Wow, it has been too long! Here are some pics.....

One year ago today!

It was one year ago today....December 23rd.....that we heard the first rumors that China may have matched us to a baby.....that soon, we might get to see the beautiful face of our daughter. We heard more rumors for a couple of days and then after Christmas we did get to see a black and white version of her photos. We fell in love instantly and we have just been swept away with love ever since! Jamie was a Christmas blessing to us last year in photos.....and this year in person! For us this is just the happiest Christmas EVER!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Let's get Ready to Tumble!!!!!

Jamie goes to the "Little Gym" with Mommy and Daddy every week and she loves it! She gets to run around and tumble, and best of all she gets to be with other little kids and I think she loves that part the best! She has been on the receiving end of many hugs and kisses and lately she has been doing quite a bit of hugging and kissing herself! The kids are all adorable and it is nice to be building a little playgroup of familiar faces.

Last week one of the Mom's shared a story with Barry......when she went in (the morning of tumble time) to wake up her little guy she asked him.......where are we going today? and he replied, quite happily.......Jamie's house! We all got a kick out of that and yes, tumble time does feel like Jamie's house.

It was hard to pick just a few shots from tumble time so here are way too many pictures.......enjoy!

Bubbles! Jamie loves bubbles!

Ball time is a lot of fun, they throw them, kick them, sit on them and once or twice they have been known to accidently deflate them!!! These are great soft balls that make it very easy for these little ones to hold on to them.

Ok, this one was really blurry but it gives you the feel of just how much she loves to run around this place! She is on the go......

Favorite activities incluce the balance beam,

socializing in the tubes.....they are planning the day's activities!

Crawling through tubes and boxes.......

and just plain having fun!


Parachute time!!!!!

All in all, a good time was had by all! See you again next week!!!!!!

Six Month Anniversary Today!

I cannot believe that this amazing little girl was placed in our arms 6 months ago today! Even more amazing is that 6 months ago she was a baby, and now she can use a step stool to wash her hands in the bathroom sink!!!!!

Our Jamie is now 18 months old, 33 inches tall and weighs 23.5 pounds! She is still in a size 12 months (and can still even where some of her 9 month onsies) but she is just growing like a wild fire! She has always kind of said Momma and Dadda but now she really knows what they mean and who we are! We have heard an assortment of other words and she says them pretty clearly but she seems to say them once and then moves on to new words and we don't hear them again! We have heard somewhere around 15 distinct words but these have been the most used:

Bubbles

Down

Duck (this one she says every day!)

Momma

Dadda

Cat

Go!

Jump!

She loves Tumble Time at the Little Gym and now she will do somersaults all on her own. She has a great group of little friends at the gym and they are all now stepping up to the next age group class.

She loves music! Her favorite is Mr. Steve (Steve Songs). We have his only DVD and she wants to listen to it evey day! He is fun to listen to, even for adults so we really don't mind! Barry even has some favorite songs!!! :)

Here are a few photos from the last 6 months.........

With Grandmom visiting the travelling Weiner mobile!

Reading books with her buddy Ailene!

Admiring (translated: how can I pick them) the daisies in the front yard

On the phone....she is very busy!

In the park with daddy!

Reading the morning paper with daddy!
At the beach, and flying a kite with Uncle Chuck!

Jamie has had enough of me being on the computer for one morning and I really must go.....hope you enjoy!

It is August....I just don't know where the time is going!

My little cutie on the beach.....17 Months old!

Longwood Gardens for a Steve Songs (Mr. Steve) concert......Jamie danced all night and waved at Mr. Steve until I thought her arm would fall off! Video of her dancing will be coming shortly!

A little photoshop fun with a blown out overexposed picture......

She usually stops doing whatever she was doing as soon as she catches sight of the camera but here is a quick clip of what she learned how to do today! Every day is something new, and it is usually pretty funny!

Enjoy.......

Happy Father's Day!

So, here is what I was doing this evening when I should have been sleeping! I think the background could have been a bit more Opaque, but I am still happy with the results.....

(you can see the original photo in the post below this one if you want to compare...I'm going to sleep now!)

I hope some day to have time to do more than just throw up the pictures.....you know maybe tell a story or even.....edit the photo's and put them in pretty frames!!!! :) But alas, for now I just have time for pictures! The first set is at the park with some of our "bestest friends" and travel mates, and the second set is swimming in Uncle Chuck and Aunt Maureen's pool! We had a blast on both days!!!!!

Only have time to post pictures.......

Enjoy.....

She loves her books! Thanks to Aunt M and Uncle C for these!

This one reminds me of the 80's Aerobics craze! ha ha

My girl loves her balloons!

Cute outfit from Aunt Cindy and Uncle Bruce!!! We had days in the 90's in April and we were very thankful for these cute little outfits!!!

Ok Carol....hope you are happy! :) Maybe some real posts soon!
