Train ride to St.Jacob's
A while ago, I bought a wagjag coupon for the train ride to St. Jacob's. Miss Diva was thrilled to be going on a "real" train ride. She was even more excited when I told her that Eric was going to come along for the day.
Here we are patiently waiting the arrival of the train. She was so excited when the train finally started coming down the track.
The train we were finally able to get on, she was so excited to be going on a train ride.
Here's my boarding pass, let's go!

Scooter Time
I was eager to get her out on her scooter. It was cold and very windy but I took her out anyway. She thought was a wonderful new toy.
serious business

Miss Diva was very excited to finally have the day arrive for her "Royal Party". She waited patiently for her friends to arrive. Jason and I were excited too because there was a family coming that we haven't seen since they traveled home from China with their son.

Outside play
We were playing outside this morning. Once again, I was playing with the camera. I was taking all kinds of pictures and she was getting annoyed.
this is her annoyed face. I thought it was super cute, it made me take more ..
here she was saying.....Mamaaaaa, please stop, I am trying to play
Another annoyed face and this time I got the pointed finger and she just plain said" mama, I said stop!"
Pondering....
This weekend I was preparing for Miss Diva's fourth birthday. My heart and mind can't help but travel to China , where there is a very special lady, our birth mom. I think about how her heart must be breaking right around this time. When she was due to deliver such a beautiful little girl and for whatever reason she couldn't parent her, must break her heart.
She will know that her precious little girl will be turning four this year. She will not be able to wish her a Happy Birthday or see how big she is and how beautiful she.
She will never be able to she the sass. I wonder if she herself is sassy like Miss Diva?
She maybe never she how beautiful she really. She may look in the mirror and wonder if her little girl looks like her. I, myself wonder about who she looks like. Look at those eye lashes...they are so long and beautiful. Her China parents have to beautiful people !
She may never see the silly side of the Diva and how she loves to lick you when she being silly. I do know this, we will never forget her. Her little girl is now our little girl and she is loved dearly. I will wish her Happy Birthday for both of us.
These are some cookies I have made for the birthday party.
oh how I love sugar cookies
rice krispie shoes...

2 years HOME
2 years ago today, we stepped of a very long flight from Beijing to Toronto. She did a wonderful job flying. Only time was to tell how she react and settle into a family filled with love and craziness.
We had a limo service dropping off and picking us up at the airport because neither one of us wanted to drive after that long flight. Also, we had no idea how she was going to react to being strapped in a car seat. They don't use car seats in China still.
We have been measuring her growth(height) on her closet door. She is getting so tall! I have been measuring every 6 months. I can't believe the difference in all areas of development in this little girl. She is our world.
Fire sparklers
Jason and I bought a few fire sparklers to see if she would be afraid of them. She did great and thought they were pretty cool.
Look how big she is getting!
