Snow and Ham

Weird title, right? I wasn't sure which would be more interesting, the fact that we had our first snow today (and a lot of it) or what I have named, "The Great Ham Incident-2012."

Without going into detail, I'll just say

1.) I should have known by the size of her belly that something wasn't sitting right
2.) When did they feed her chunks of HAM!???!!!
3.) Good thing it was laundry night!
4.) I think "The Great Ham Incident-2012" should automatically qualify me as Curlie Girlie's mama, and that we should clearly just be able to bypass court.

It's a good thing I love this girl! After the little event, Shawn says, "So does this mean we'll never go to Ruby Tuesdays again?" (Zoya's favorite place to eat and she loves the ham chunks in the salad bar). That's all he could say?!?!! Ahhh, anyways....my clothes are now drying for the next 2 days because that's how long clothes take to dry hanging over a chair. No worries, as much as I like to take pictures, there is absolutely no picture evidence of this incident! You can thank Shawn for that because he was too busy laughing to take pictures (and too busy laughing to give me any assistance at all with, say, a baby wipe or full size bath towel which might have made clean up a little easier).

She was mesmerized watching the huge snowflakes fall from the sky! 

We're thankful we got to witness her first snow together! 

Looking out the window with Daddy. I look forward to all the new experiences we will have with her! 

I'd be surprised if she needs glasses. She finds every little hole, spec, and piece of dirt on the floor! She loved the hole in Shawn's jeans! 

Practicing her tennis swing! 

Pre-ham incident....check out the size of that belly! I should have known, I should have known! 

She LOVES chasing this little ball. Every time we get it out she throws it, follows it, throws it again, and keeps going until she has crawled onto the hard floor where it rolls fast. She LOVES to throw the ball back and forth and watch it roll! I think she and Mila will have some fun games of "hall ball" in their futures! (All while Zoya stands there shaking her finger saying "no no no!"

Hi, Mom! 

Being silly with Dada! 

No more pictures!!

LOVE those curls! 

So many expressions! 

Love her so much already! 

She was all about kissing her mama tonight, I figured since the ham incident was over 8 hours before, we should be good! 

Laughing so hard it looks like she is crying!! 

This was so funny! She started pouting with this new whine we had never heard and I called her a faker!

So she pulled THIS out!!! I said, "You don't fool me, I've got your number!" 

And she immediately stopped and made this sly face ;) We are pretty sure she has been attending some acting classes at the orphanage! 

Please, please, please keep praying for our documents to be signed so we can have court on Thursday! If court happens Thursday, Shawn and I will arrive home Saturday evening. I'll be home for about a week and then I'll return with my brother (Uncle Bub) if all goes as planned! Shawn will stay home to work and love on the girls at home and prepare them for their new sister! We are so close, yet so far! We really can't wait to wake up in our home with all 3 girls under the same roof! Thank you for all your prayers, and for your comments...we read each and every single one of them, even if we don't always leave comments back!
