Everybody Loves Liya;)

Had to share this pic, taken by the uber-talented LeighAnn Monaghan of Soul Search Photography . After spending an hour with Miss Liya, The Diva, she posted this pic as her Facebook status:

We love you too, Miss LeighAnn!!

Then & Now

This video brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful girl, and a very blessed family the Kelley's are. Amy

Dusting Off This Old Blog!

I have to admit it: I've tried blogging on other services, and they were ok....but I miss this ol' blogger blog! So I'm dusting it off and turning it into a family blog. I have kept Liya's adoption journey here, and it now has it's own page. I'm sure I will be referring back to it every now and again. I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I held her for the first time! My, how time flies!
Anywho...to my 20 wonderful followers who have kept me on their blogrolls ALL this time: Welcome back into my little world;)

*Well, I can't figure out how to move all of the old blog posts to a new page:( If any of you know how to do that, please let me know!

Liya's Interpretation of 'Hop On Pop'

I couldn't get this to play on my wordpress blog, so I'm posting it here. Hubby and I take turns reading to Nathan and Liya at bedtime. Tonight was my night, and I was reading Dr. Seuss's Hop On Pop. Liya loves to "read" the books after I am done reading them. So she was reading her somewhat violent version of the story. If it's hard to understand, she is saying on every page that the character is getting "hit on the butt"..and occasionally "hit on the face". Then she reads a Santa book, and poor ol' Saint Nick meets the same fate. I guess with 3 big brothers I shouldn't expect anything less than a smackdown, eh?
Oh, and they are singing Jingle Bells at the end....Liya's favorite song;)
Enjoy!
