Oh, The Cuteness

Be forewarned, these photos may cause death by cuteness!

She kept making one face that we never caught on film. I will always regret this. It was the cutest face ever! She would stand completely still with her mouth and eyes wide open in shock. The best was when a family was walking towards us down the streets. The three adults were dressed up with big wigs. I can't believe we missed the shot.

Heading out and just happy to be owsigh!

Of course, what's Halloween without Nana? I assume that some day she will allow her dolls to remain clothed. In the meantime, we go for the natural look around here.

We were out for one hour. She rode in her stroller for about 10 minutes.

Our neighborhood has three girls from China. What's amazing is that there are only about 30 homes in our subdivision. You may recognize Snow White from last week's party photos. She and Sera are great friends.

Pure, unbridled joy!

Sera put Nana in the stroller and wanted to push her. She quickly realized this may not work.

Can we do this again tomorrow night?

Needless to say, Halloween was a big hit. It's not about the treats for her yet. She loved being outside, walking around the neighborhood, all the people out walking with us, all the costumes, and all the dogs. I didn't realize that every one of our neighbors seemed to have a dog. Sera was running up and down the street yelling "HI" to everyone.

It's a miracle that a human heart can hold so much joy and love and not just burst from it all.

Last year, this was the time when the wait got really hard for me. We hit our one year anniversary for being logged in and kicked off the holiday season. It's amazing the difference a year can make. For everyone who is still waiting, I know that my words do not ease your pain. Please believe me when I say that it gets so much better. This is what is waiting for you, and I cannot wait to share in your joy when it does.

P.S. My sister and brother-in-law left this morning to pick up my adorable niece, Ava. We are just so excited!
