segundo aniversario del primer encuentro

Today (April 6) marks the second anniversary of the day we met Sofia for the first time and became a family.

We celebrated by all making her favorite dinner together - tacos, and for dessert, a princess cake she has had her eye on. I finally completed a couple pages in her scrapbook of that first meeting and she loves to hear about and then re-tell the story about how she cried when she first sat on Daddy's lap, but then was eating Cheerios out of his hand and sharing with everyone else in the office.
After dinner, Sofia opened  a gift from Daddy - a bat and baseballs. She of course wanted to run outside right away and try it out.

Colombia video

For those who are interested in getting a better picture of where we were in Colombia, I would like to share this video with you. It is in Spanish, but the views are amazing. It captures the awesome beauty we could not capture with our camera. There are scenes of Sofia's birthplace, the city Pasto, and of some of the other places we visited along with the great artists we had the privilege to meet. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDHRJ3JRN-g

Sofia's Holiday Show


We were able to attend Sofia's first holiday show on Dec. 12. It was so fun to see her perform. She seems very at ease on stage...unlike her Mami :o)

Sofia's first snow


Our first big snow came during the week, so I couldn't wait till the weekend to get outside and play with Sofia. She had fun playing in the snow, and had to bring her baby outside and pull her in the sled. It was great until she decided she didn't want to keep her mittens on and then fell down. She cried, "Cold! Cold!" and then wanted to go inside. I'm sure we will have plenty of opportunities to go back out and play in it again....as long as I can get her to keep her mittens on!
