Happy Holidays!

Kayla's 1st Christmas Portraits
And Daddy's so proud of Kayla's performance he's threatened to make us do this every year


The calendar says we've been home from China almost a month now and have been a family for over 6 weeks--someone must have made a mistake. It's amazing how life speeds by when times are good. I'm soaking up the holiday season and trying to squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of this one.

I can't help but think about all the Christmases that went by before we had a child. Now I feel so very lucky that out of all the people in the world, God chose us to parent this beautiful baby girl. I'll never understand His timing; instead I'll just focus on the gift we've received and be HAPPY.

Okay, okay-- enough mush. It's something about the holidays and that darn Oprah TV show.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone out there in bloggyland!

Merry Christmas, Shannon!
Your family is just BEAUTIFUL...and it is quite alright to get mushy about your sweet Kayla. She is a precious gift.
Oh, I am so happy for you! I haven't been by in awhile, and it just warmed my heart to see those pics of the three of you together at last!
