We rang in the new year in Oregon visiting family. We took Lily to visit the snow. She has not been to the snow since she was two. She was NOT a fan at two but two years later is a completely different story. She loved every minute of it.
Our first steps.
Her and I went down the hill together a few times.
Then her and her cousin Sophia went down the hill about 50 more times. Every time they got to the bottom Lily would say again and Sophia went each time until they had a particularly rough landing where she completely shielded my baby from impact. Sophia is turning into such a beautiful woman right before my very eyes and she's beautiful from the inside out. I am very proud of her.
One of my favorites of the day!
I love this picture!! Peter's tongue is out while he concentrates on staying on the sled.
He did it!!!
Here is Uncle Marcus can you believe they are brothers.
This is our cousin Kai we didn't see much of him, he is 14. I like this picture because that is Sophia coming down the hill behind him.
And the take down. Uncle Peter thinks it's funny that he can still do that. Next trip I'm pretty sure that move won't work.
Beautiful Sophia
Bet you didn't know Peter could fly......
Only for a second

Silly family photo
Lily loved every minute of stomping in the puddles. The deeper the better!! By the time we left she was wet up to her knees.
Happy to be takin a rest on the bridge. Actually she didn't rest at all she ran up and down and up and down. Did I mention she slept REALLY, REALLY well on our trip.
One more thing I have started a yahoo group. My hope is that it will be a place for adoptive parents to discuss adoption related concerns as well as parenting concerns. Perhaps share ideas and good books we have read. Please join me.
