Early Birthday Surprise!

My mother sent a package loaded full with goodies to all of us for the upcoming holidays, Lana’s birthday gifts as well. We decided to let her open them early, with the okay from my mom of course. Below are a few pictures of her un-wrapping some of the gifts. I cannot believe she is almost two years old….

Hmm... Let's see, books, what else?!

Pretty jacket for Valentine's Day.

A little box...

Almost got it...

Clothes... clothes.. and more clothes...

"L" is for LANA with her favorite Tinker Bell.

Breakfast With Lana

.....And, Hello Kitty, which is always nearby.

Be My Valentine

Project

But before we got started, Lana had a snack...

What a CUTIE!

Enjoying some apple slices and grapes.

(more)....

(Please).


Yes, of course!

I love the look on her face. Priceless!

Now it's time for the fun craft project....

I helped her get started, but then she worked all on her own.

She was trying her very best!

So much fun!

Look at those chubby cute little hands...





I can do it all by myself.

So serious.

Adding the final touches.

All done! Will you be MY VALENTINE?!

Happy Valentine's Day

Red Roses & Chocolates

Wouldn’t you agree that roses and chocolates are the perfect combination?

My husband did. He knows me well. My photography skills are greatly improving, this image is beautiful. I’ll be sure to post pictures from our dinner this evening.

Great News To Share.....

Today, we received confirmation of Jayce’s acceptance into a private catholic college preparatory high school in Texas. We are so delighted and excited. The school mentioned in the acceptance letter so many wonderful words regarding his resume and recommendations. Jayce is thrilled! I am so ready to get to the states and begin life’s new chapter for us….

For fun, I thought I would post a picture that I scanned of Jayce’s first catholic school experience (in NC). He is so cute. Not to mention, a stellar student!!

Happy Birthday To Me.....

Baby Sign Language- Video Four

This morning, while enjoying a treat with Hello Kitty, Lana practiced some new words with signing. Enjoy!
