Park...What's in name?

-

I've heard it asked before, but I must ask it again; why do we call a park a park? The only people I see "parked" are the people with older kids who can play on their own or are just there to take in the fresh air...not the toddlers or their parents! Today Max and I went to a very nice park on the lake with our friends Mrs. Corrie and Casen. Casen is about 3 months older than Max and showed Max how to run all over that place. Max was very amazed, but played it safe by either crawling or staying clamped onto my finger. After a picnic lunch, the boys played on a toddler sized playground for about an hour. Max discovered how to slide all by himself and also that mulch can be a very nice playtime snack. The weather has been amazing park weather and gives us all so much more energy than the frigged winter wind. The sun was not out today, but we could still feel its warmth. At this moment Max is conked out in his crib. I expect this nap to be much longer than normal...he played hard today! I can't wait to go back to this park in the spring and summer. It will be such a fun place to meet Jeff after work for a family date.

Our precious Piper will be two weeks old tomorrow! So much has changed and yet she has slipped right into our family so perfectly. I will have to write more to tell you what has been going on in our home, but for now enjoy these photos I took of her this morning. I love the simplicity of her holding the pink carnation. So beautifully organic.

When we were first Married, Jeff's Dad would always ask us if we still love eachother...well we do. This weekend we are celebrating our 6 year anniversery of our first date! I had to show off what Jeff got me because it is so neat. He said it is to help me feed Cooper...but I know he wanted it for himself too. He is very sneaky...hehe. Anyway, I will be enjoying my new Eagle's Nest lounger for a very long time. (If you come to visit us I might let you try it out.)

Day 5, July 30, 2014

Day 5, July 30, 2014 Today we got the opportunity to visit Miley’s orphanage and meet her foster mother.  It was a very big and pretty nice place.  Our guide said they have anywhere from 600 to 800 orphans there right now.   Kind of a big range, but he’s probably guessing since he doesn’t work there directly.  Her foster mother seemed very kind and wanted to hold Miley.  Miley smiled at her while she was being held.  It was sweet to see that her first caregiver really seemed to care about her.  Her first question through the interpreter was if she was crying a lot while away from the orphanage.  She hasn’t cried much at all!  Maybe she just isn’t use to us yet and can’t relax enough to cry (it’s only been 2 days right) or maybe God has been working on her little heart and preparing her for us and she knows she is home.   She did cry a few short minutes this evening because she was overly tired.  (She did eat...
