What If...?

What if you knew your actions could prevent even one death?

 

What if you knew you had the influence, resources, and ability to make a difference in what seemed like a hopeless situation?

Would you act? or would you remain silent?

Long weekend...

Maya was exhausted.  Here she is in the shopping cart at Ikea.  I think it is really adorable even if she should have been in the car on the way home by this time.

Diva

Maya is such a little diva.  Poor Dave.  He has two divas living with him (smile).  In the hotel room this weekend Maya made her way into my lap while I was applying my make-up.  She had fun playing with the make-up brush and copying me.

**We had a blast this weekend in Minneapolis.  We attended our first ever Ethiopian picnic sponsored by EKC and our adoption agency CHSFS.  More to come on our terrific weekend. 

Finally Gave In

We did it.  We finally gave in.  Maya got her first 2 pairs of Stride Rite shoes today.  I didn't want to give in but I was finally convinced why these shoes are better than other baby shoes on the market.  I also bought them at the outlet store so it didn't sting so bad.  Maya is a lucky girl.

Kitchen Set

We bought a kitchen set and a box of dishes at a garage sale recently.  I think Maya likes it.  What do you think?

She loves it!

Maya loves the boat!  She went on her first boat ride this weekend and loved it.  Her favorite part is actually driving the boat.  Her least favorite part?  Not getting mommy's sunglasses.  Boy did she cry over that!  We had a great weekend with Maya and we even met some fellow campers.

Maya also enjoyed playing dress up with mommy's clothes.  Who needs toys when you have clothes to play with (smile).

Hair

At Target I purchased some new hair accessories for Maya.  Last night I played around and managed to get a few ponytails in her hair.  It was quite a challenge and it isn't perfect.  At least I gave it a try.  Check it out.

Tonight we decided to take Maya to get her hair trimmed.  It looks so cute!  The hair stylist put a braid in the front which is hard to see.  I have a long ways to go on learning how to style Maya's hair.
