This is what happens when Daddy picks out the outfits

It is hard to believe but Delylah is 14 months old today. She is progressing so fast. Delylah just started dance class several weeks ago and she loves it. She is the youngest in her class but she started learning all the dances from going and watching Lennah so they said even though she is young we might as well enroll her since she knows a lot of the dances. She is also talking a lot. I guess a lot of it comes from having a big sister to keep up with. She follows Lennah around and tries to do whatever Lennah does. This does also cause major problems because they are constantly fighting over toys but Delylah can hold her own. Actually Delylah now can really instigate some fights. Several weeks ago we were in target and they have there carts where the kids can face each other and it became a hair pulling fest in the store that Delylah started. I can laugh about it now but boy was that incident embarassing. Other than the occasional hair pulling and fighting the girls are doing really good. Lennah now hugs and kisses Delylah good night which is so cute.
We are also getting ready for our Disney trip which is really exciting. We leave in less than 3 months and Lennah is really excited. We talk about how she is going to Disney to see the Princesses and she gets all happy and yells YEAHHH! Hopefully Delylah will have a good time like Lennah did last year even though she is so young.

Catching up from Vacation

So I have been home a few days and had not had much time to catch up this blog on what's been going on. We went to Myrtle Beach for several days with my parents and unfortunately I have brought back some stomach ailment that keeps coming back. It has not been enjoyable. Everytime I think I am getting better it returns. I guess now I can catch you up on our trip. We headed to Myrtle Beach, yes, I know it is cold this time of year but it was a chance to take a cheap trip. Also it was Delylah's first vacation so it will be a memorable one. Even though it was chilly the trip was enjoyable. We had a great resort right on the beach with an indoor pool which is a perk with kids. We also had a chance to visit Ripley's aquarium which we had a hard time prying Lennah away from the shark slide they had there. I think we spent an hour at the slide alone. We had some great food and best yet the kids were pretty good in the car. I have to say they did really good going and coming. Which eases my worries about our upcoming travels to Disney in a few short months. I think the trip back was pretty good because no one but Keith was feeling well so the kids slept a lot. Lennah was so cute and kept asking to go to the beach and the pool. She had a hard time understanding that the beach was cold and we couldn't spend too much time there. Delylah was a little freaked over the pool the first time. She had never had the opportunity to go swimming before because Ethiopia was cold and it was late in the summer when we got back. She finally adjusted and did much better the next time we took her to the pool. Enjoy the photos for now, I am adding so photos since the last time I posted and our trip photos.

Special Day

Today is a very special day because of two reasons. Two years ago to this very day Keith and I became parents ffor the first time. It was today that we accepted Lennah's referral. Just for that one reason we have a lot to celebrate. Today also marks the six month anniversary for gotcha day of Delylah. It was six months ago that our baby girl was placed in my arms. Unfortunately Keith did not come to Ethiopia but it has been a wonderful six months of two times the chaos. We are so thankful in so many ways for these two little girls because we would not have Delylah without Lennah. It is just so amazing that one turn in life brings you somewhere that affects so much later on without realizing it. Because of Lennah we have made friends who in turn brought us to our second daughter so we are twice blessed. Who knows where life will take us next but we are thrilled and hopefully at some point will expand our family again. For now I am cutting this post short because we are on vacation in Myrtle Beach and will post more once we return home but for now enjoy the few photos of then and now of our girls.
