SOPHIA HAS BEEN HOME FOR TWO YEARS!

 It is hard to believe that our little Sophia

has been home for two years!  The time

has gone by so fast and she brings our 

family more joy than we could ever

have imagined. We are truly blessed

to have her in our lives!

  Cheering with "Lala" at the fall football games.

 Go Mendham!

 Sophia watering her hand 

  My nature girl-a real tree hugger :)

  Our ladybug is striking a cheer pose- she must be hanging

around her sister too much!

 Ready to trick or treat for the first 

time.  Only went to three houses 

because Sophia didn't realize that

the treat bag was meant to collect 

the candy.  She thought she needed

to immediately consume all the candy 

she was given! 

  We love to bake for the holidays!

and shades...

  Christmas morning

  Exploring the beach in sunny, beautiful Santa Barbara

during winter break :)

  Sophia hitching a ride to the beach

  Contemplating the beauty of the beach and the  

mountains

 Jogging with Dad

  Back in NJ having some indoor fun with stickers

  Doing the bunny hop...

  And venturing outside to play in the snow.  Unfortunately

the snow didn't stick together so our plans to make

a snowman didn't quite work out.

  Sledding is a fun activity.  As long as it is down our 

driveway and not the big hill at the elementary school, 

as Laura and I discovered.   Sophia said the big hill was 

just too bumpy!
