“I need Baby Jesus!”

Nadia was playing with her little people house in the living room while I was reading on the couch. All of a sudden she said, “I need the plane, I’m going to my room.” She comes back and is playing a bit longer and I can see her flying it around the room. She is making all kinds of fun sound effects and trading people out for the flights. Some more time goes by and then she is on the other side of the island (so I can’t see her or the plane) and I hear her say, “I need baby Jesus!!”

This leads to a massive search for him and then she runs back into the kitchen. So of course at this point I follow to see why she needed him. Here is what I saw:

The 3 wise men as passengers and Baby Jesus as the pilot.

Project 52

Have any of you heard of the Project 365? Someone started it a few years back and it has really caught on. You are supposed to take 1 photo a day of whatever and post it. Document your life or observations for a year. I do think this is cool, but I have to be realistic that I won’t do that every day. Even though I take lots of photos. So I decided that I am going to call mine Project 52. I am going to post photos once a week for the year. I might have a photo for each day, but maybe not. I also think this will be a good place for me to put the random photos I take that aren’t necessarily a whole blog post.

Here is week 1: Jan 1 – 7, 2010

The Partain Family Visits

Nadia and Josh

Isn’t this photo a DELIGHT?!!! Click the photo above to see the whole album.

I have followed the blog of a family that adopted from China for almost 3 years now. They adopted about a month after us and Josh is about a month younger than Nadia. So they are spending a couple of weeks in Texas to get out of the snow back home and wanted to meet up with us. The kids just loved each other. It was so cute. Nadia was shy in the beginning as always, but she really opened up fast and had a great time.

They had a great time pushing each other in Nadia’s radio flyer and chasing each other in the Flyer (video of that coming soon).

I am so happy to have had the chance to meet their family in person after all this time. Thanks for coming to see us!!!
