It's Happy Cupcake Day!

Three years ago, after travelling for more than 30 hours, Haus and I (along with Sweetpea) arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and met our beautiful baby girl, Cupcake!

Meeting Papa


Meeting Mama

With Almaz, the angel who handled all the details in Ethiopia
and loved on our girl until we could get there
to bring her home to her Forever Family!


Playing with Papa


and with Mama


In what has seemed like a flash, this beautiful, timid little princess

became this sassy,



personality filled



sweetheart!

We are SO thankful to God for the blessing of our precious baby girl!

Smelly Good

I love being a mother.

Sweetpea, "Mama-mama-mama, come smell this.
It smells beauuuutiful,
like princess baby powder lilac whipped cream perfume!
It's your bathroom smelly-good spray that I put on my pillow.
Oops! No, don't sniff over there.

That's why I needed the smelly-good...

'Cause it's actually my barf from yesterday."



Awesome.

(P.S. - I actually use Thymes Eucalyptus. You can get it here. And, it does smell beauuuuutiful!)
