look who's walking

what's rockin' my day...

"when we depend upon organizations,
we get what organizations can do.
when we depend upon education,
we get what education can do.
when we depend upon man,
we get what man can do.
but when we depend upon prayer,
we get what God can do."
-a.c. dixon

7 years

kev and i went out for our anniversary a few nights ago. we went to the shangri la. apparently "shangri la" is synonymous with an earthly paradise. we actually just went to the hotel...for dinner. wouldn't rank it up there with paradise, but it was pretty amazing.
                                    
we were kinda out of our element


no kids. no honking. quiet music.

 brie

prawns

creme brulee

3 hours of all you can eat international buffet, reminiscing, laughing, and dreaming together. it's crazy how much we have gone through together now.

here's to 7 sweet years.

and her 2nd word is..

"ge ge" 哥哥 is chinese for big brother.

summers are for...

ice cream

birthday parties

surprise night swims with daddy

train rides

exploring

and playing with monkeys....

apparently this summer was not for blogging! think we are finally back in a temporary routine. hoping to be better with keeping this up... as the monkeys are changing by the minute! hope your summer was as sweet as ours.

pig tails

i know. i know. i am entirely too excited about doing hair! addy was way more interested in her mangoes:).

here we are again

kev and i were musing the other night over how much we love sleeping in the living room...or so it seems. we laughed about how when we first got married we lived in a studio and, hence, slept in the living room. right before we had w, we moved to a one bedroom and when he was about 8 months and we were desperate for a good night's sleep, we were blessed with a futon and moved to the living room. when we moved into this place, it felt like a castle to us...900 square feet and 2 bedrooms! our little princess is 10+ months now and it has been at least that long since we have slept through the night... so a couple weeks ago she had her 1st cry-it-out and we (at least temporarily) moved out...or should i say back?!

but it is awesome. really, it is. i have slept 8 hours straight at least twice and it did something crazy to her napping too. she actually naps! we are all feeling more refreshed around here.
