Wedding and Get Togethers

We have been super busy the past few days. On Thursday we were fortunate enough to get together with our adoption agency from Delylah's adoption and the other Illien families. It was a great night and I actually enjoyed an Ethiopian dinner (food wise) for the first time. The girls had a blast playing with the other kids and it was great getting to meet some people for the first time and seeing old friends. It is a blessing that so many families are so near that have also experienced an adoption from Ethiopia. I wish there were more local Vietnamese families and right now with the shut down it does not look like there will be many more families in our area any time soon.

Secondly we had a wedding yesterday and Lennah was the flower girl or at least supposed to be the flower girl. Friday night we went to the rehearsal dinner and Lennah did a great job of walking down the aisle so I assumed all would go off without a hitch last night. Well, Lennah skipped her nap and that made her cranky and super tired from all the excitement the past few days. She started crying when it was time to make her grand appearance and mommy had to come and at least try to save the day. Well needless to say she never walked the aisle and I missed the whole ceremony at one of my best friend's weddings. Ahhh the joys of the terrible twos. All was not a total loss because Lennah looked absolutely adorable and everyone loved seeing her all dressed up. Since she was so tired she didn't even make it through dinner and feel asleep through the whole reception.

Sisters

I usually just don't throw up random posts any more because our lives are hectic but I have just been so happy at the way Lennah and Delylah have been playing together lately I thought I would share. They now play together by chasing each other around the house. Lennah demands that she gives Delylah a hug and kiss before Delylah goes to bed. Occassionally Lennah will share that is something we still have to work on here and there but they have finally gotten the hang of being sisters. Yesterday I was in Kohl's with the kids and Lennah and Delylah were in the double stroller and Lennah kept pointing at Delylah and telling everyone in the store that she was her sister. It was too cute. It is just so much fun to watch them playing together.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all our friends out there. Today was a grand day. I have so much to be thankful for this Mother's day; two beautiful girls. We had a great family breakfast and my dad and Keith cooked dinner. I also got a beautiful family necklace for mother's day. Yesterday we took my mom to have portraits taken with the girls since that is what she wanted for Mother's day. As soon as I get the pics back I will be sure to post since the girls look absolutely adorable. To back track a bit we raised $131 dollars for our fundraiser for AHOPE orphanage on Thursday. I plan on doing this every year so hopefully next year we will gain more support but every little bit helps. We also hit the taste of Marietta fair two weeks ago and had a great time. Things have been business as usualy around here and now we are just waiting for our big trip. Enjoy the photos.
