Missing this blogging thing!

Hi, everyone!

It's been too long, and our little baby girl is getting funnier and smarter by the minute.  Let me take you back a few months so that I won't skip any time on this handy dandy blog.  

This was at the very end of January...





Kyle falls asleep when he tries to put Willow to sleep.  Every! Time!


Back to the aquarium, because why not?!




First time we've used an umbrella, and she dug it.


Our sleepy headed baby...










We are loving the bun on the top of the head lately...


McAlister's goodness...


She went from painting like this...


...to painting like this!



Making a mug for Daddy... So proud!



We crack up when we play this.  We usually play Airplane first, and then this game - Horsey!



'Picnic' with grandparents while Mom and Dad go on a Valentine's date...




Zoo day, please?


We kept blinking like this hippo!


Willow was unafraid of the white tiger this time...


Quick picnic lunch before train ride back to the car!



You can see Willow was into that fast train.  There was a new baby giraffe, which prompted our trip back!


Happy Valentine's Day, Willow!


Kyle makes this gourmet meal for me on special occasions sometimes.  It's my fav!  What perfection to have my toddler and this goodness all at once.  This Valentine dinner was my all time favorite.


We took Willow to a special event with other families with children from China for Chinese New Year.  Wearing red is the way to go!




The kiddos took pictures with other kids from their province.  Willow was one of the youngest there!




Took snack outdoors this day...


Lantern craft.  And we decided we would always go visit Daddy at work on every single Chinese New Year!

Bring on 2015!






Playing 'elevator'...


We peeked in at her at midnight!!



She started randomly pretending she was putting on makeup looking at a 'mirror' (aka the door).










This day she woke from nap quite happy!



Took her to the park and was blown away by how much she had grown since the last time...











This is the 'dress' Willow loved that we made out of Kyle's sweater following a little accident at life group!




Willow's 'potty poster'...


Puppy purse and Elmo... Two essentials on this particular day...




We are thankful for God's goodness today and every day!  Can't believe it's almost been nine months since we met Willow and started the journey of becoming a family.  In some ways it seems like it's only been a couple of months, and in others I feel as though I've known her for forever.
