Has it really been this long? Over a month since my last post? "Oh, dear!" Ayanna would say. It has been a hectic, busy month and yet a beautiful and most precious month. Both my parents have stayed and helped us out tremendously. After my father left, my mom stayed another two weeks. She helpe...

Our day away. One of Ayanna's birthday gifts (Thanks tia and tio!) was tickets to a fun park. So we took her an afternoon and evening out and she was overwhelmed, but then got brave and loved every minute... It was so exciting and yet sad to see my little baby standing in line wi...

A plane passes by ... "Ooohh zoooeeeeefff, opa zoef, oma zoef, Ja? to Ayanna? ja?" and then she has a big smile on her face. Soon opa and oma will come "zoef" with a plane from Europe to Ayanna and she is very excited. But today is not the day. So we talked about the plane flying like a bird an...

When Josiah and I went on a date Ayanna was with her friends. Last night their parents went on a date and the girls stayed with us. It was a rainy night, so we spend it inside. We giggled our way through dinner... girls... Then we did some fun art and I loved seeing their character shine throu...

Papa's
For my husband, who I have watched become an amazing papaayanna! If she could write here she would write probably something like this; "Papa , van you!! papa girllll " (as she is and always will be papa's girl) She loves you, she adores you, she feels safe with you and she thinks you are the f...

"Spring fever"
We have a "spring fever" going around in our home! Ayanna was ill for a few days and now it seems to be Josiah's turn. One morning she asked for her blanket and baby and next time I took a look she has fallen asleep on the couch. This has never happened before, she really needed her rest. ...
