Chayah's New Brace!

A few weeks ago, when Chayah was at a doctor's visit, she started walking around and putting pressure on her leg! This was a huge step for Chayah, as she had never done this for us before! But she was able to walk on it very well and so the doctor ordered a new brace for Chayah! Her new brace only comes to right below her knee, whereas her previous brace went up almost to her hip. She was very excited about getting her new brace!!

Meant to Be

Adoption is such an amazing miracle! I am so blessed to have been able to be a part of the miracle twice through Sarah and Chayah's adoptions! Still, there are 145 million orphans around the world today.. Can we do something more to show hope to those who remain as orphans?

First Trip to the Beach

In July, we took a trip to the Atlantic ocean! It was both Sarah and Chayah's first time to the ocean and can you tell from the pictures that they loved it?! Cause they most definitely had a blast! Sarah was so excited, she could barely contain herself once we finally got to the beach. She just wanted to rush right in the ocean and was so brave in the water! It even scared us a little because she didn't seem to have any fear of the ocean at all! But she loved it and wanted Mom and Dad to take her out deeper. We had "boogy" boards and I took Sarah out to try riding one. After a few tries, it sort of worked as long as I was holding on to it too and we had lots of fun doing that! Chayah was very excited to see the ocean too, although she was a little bit more reserved about going into the water as Sarah was. She did go in though and had lots of fun! Mom and Chayah played with another boogy board and Chayah rode in the waves a little bit and had lots of fun too! She also loved to play on the beach in all the sand, as did Sarah. It was a great time at the beach and so much fun!!

Dresses and Pearls

Today, Sarah and Chayah attended a friend's F*ancy N*ancy Party! It has been a long awaited day since the day they received their invitation. It said specifically for all the girls to come dressed up, so the girls were all dressed up to attend the party. And, of course, we needed a quick photo shoot before they were off to the party.. because they are just so beautiful and it's not everyday you get to go to a F*ancy N*ancy party all dressed up. ;)
