This is the story of my journey to bring Willow home from Guatemala. I am now mom to two daughters: Lily (5) who was born in China and Willow (2).

July

We've had a couple fun weekends at my parents' cabin this summer. The girls love getting rides on the 4-wheeler: Grammy and Lily could cuddle all day. I'm not sure who enjoys it more, of the 2 of them!



Willow and Lily both love "fishing" off the dock. Willow got mad at her pole more than once and chucked it in the lake. She is MUCH more reasonable, but I think will always be a little hot head!





You'd never know it looking at her smile sometimes, but she can turn on a dime!






We move into our new house on August 6: The highlights of the house are that there are 5 bedrooms (Lily and Willow will share until Ben graduates next year), an office for Marc who works from home, Lily doesn't have to switch schools for 1st grade next fall, and it's in the same attendance area for Marc's kids as when they're at their mom's house.

We're going to have a small, casual wedding/celebration in September.

We were all up at my parents' cabin for the 4th of July, except Ben (who had to work). The weather was perfect for playing in the water all weekend!
