Wow, I took
some hiatus! Sorry about that, friends and family. It's just been a busy couple of months around here, with birthdays and visits, and who knows what else?
I do actually have about three blog posts that I started on my phone, and that for some reason or another, haven't finished. So I'll be posting those here in the next few days as well.
I finally got around to editing a few of the pictures that I took of Annabel with the Easter bunnies, and while those of you who are my friends on Facebook have seen these, I thought I'd post them here anyway. Especially since I haven't posted anything else in so long!
Annabel with her Ba Ngoai. This little stinker was in NO mood for pictures that day, for whatever reason. I'm just glad that I got at least one good one with each of her grandmas!
Annabel with her Nonnie and the bunny. This was taken when we first arrived to the site, so she obviously wasn't in her Easter clothes yet. But this was the best one with Nonnie, and I'll take what I can get!
A little later, Annabel's friend, Haley, arrived. Her mom is a very close friend of mine, and it's been a big blessing that they adopted Haley so close to the time that we had Annabel. Like it or not, these girls are going to be BFFs! If the evidence of our buying them the same outfits and dressing them alike all the time isn't enough, you can see that they were both too busy socializing to even look at the camera.
Seriously, those two pictures were the best ones of them! Oh well, there's no denying their matching cuteness.
Coming soon, pictures from Annabel's birthday party! I can't believe my baby is TWO. Here she was two years ago...
Five days old!
And here she is today (ok, technically a couple of months ago, but you get the idea)...
Cheers,
At first, our cutie pie was a little cautious about getting up close and personal with the butterflies. She thought they were a tad unpredictable!
The butterflies were mostly monarchs. There were hundreds of them! So beautiful.
After a few minutes, she decides they aren't too scary after all and tries to get to know them a little better.
We had to be careful to keep an eye out for stowaways!
They seem to really like Chris. Not that I can blame them!
This one tickled my head.
This picture is actually blurry because my daughter wouldn't sit still, not because the butterfly was in motion.
They gave us little cotton swabs dipped in red Gatorade to attract the butterflies. So no, those aren't matches!
It was really fun watching them "eat" from those cotton swabs!
Annabel was really enjoying the whole experience.
Time to go! Annabel gives the butterflies kisses.
