Visiting Cousins

























This past weekend we stayed with Carlos (Michael's Cousin), Daphne, Kana and Jake so that they could meet Daniel! Daniel was fascinated by Kana (she has a great personality) and loved playing with Jake and his trains. Kana can sing all kinds of songs and was kind enough to let us stay in her bedroom all weekend. She was so sweet to baby Daniel and entertained him during his first time in the pool. He was happy when he was in a raft in the pool (and did not have to cling to me). We are now going to have to look into swim lessons since he did so well. Jake was showing off his swimming talents and called me Lolly whenever he wanted to swim to me.

Kana, Jake and Daniel all got to play at the playground in the mall as well! Daniel figured out how to go up and down the two stairs at their house when I was not even looking.

We also got to visit with Juan (Michael's Cousin), Kari, Ariana and Alex for dinner on Friday and brunch on Sunday. Daniel was so happy to meet everyone in Florida and to experience summer in both pools. Alex and Michael played on the Wii of course (my competitive husband) which was much better than the infamous RISK game last time we visited - the game went on for hours and hours.

Daniel loves his cousins and cannot wait to see them again. Next time he is hopefully out of the phase where he screams really loud in the middle of the night.

And we have now officially exceeded 5000 pictures of Daniel during his first 10 months. The most photographed baby ever.

About Me

We first heard about Gladney Center for Adoption in January of 2005 when we met with Pastor Stephen and Paula. In March of 2005 we attended an orientation at Gladney in Fort Worth, Texas. We adopted Daniel on September 12, 2007! Now we are waiting for a special child to complete our family.
