The Slagh's: October 2014

http://kpandryslagh.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Just the four of us, living in our little house by the lake. Tuesday, October 21, 2014. October.so far :). I tried to come up with a creative title for this post, but the moments captured from October are hard to capture in one phrase! One thing I noticed is that a lot has occurred outside so far this month - I think we starting to remember how quickly winter started last year - and we have to take advantage of these fall days when we can go outside without needing to get bundled in our snow gear! Uncle ...

The Slagh's: Shermanator Triathlon 2015

http://kpandryslagh.blogspot.com/2015/08/shermanator-triathlon-2015.html

Thursday, August 13, 2015. In the past two years, I have thought to myself that I should just sign up for one triathlon, just to get back in that racing scene a little and see how it would feel. I have been on my bike a handful of times this summer, and when at my mom's house or up north, I have taken advantage of doing a couple open water swims. Right before the swim start.I'm in the back there somewhere :). Transition to the bike out of the water. Transition to the run. After I crossed, I saw Ryan and ...

The Slagh's: January 2015

http://kpandryslagh.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Just the four of us, living in our little house by the lake. Sunday, January 25, 2015. Trip to Shedd Aquarium. We took advantage of a Friday where we didn't have school, and planned a trip to Shedd with Mem! Last time we went, Camryn wasn't even a year old, so she was really experiencing it for the first time. We kept the day simple, and just planned a day trip. Luckily the weather cooperated and it made for an easy drive there and back! Lots of fun moments throughout the day. Cam touching a huge sea star.

http://kpandryslagh.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Just the four of us, living in our little house by the lake. Sunday, November 16, 2014. Early November - including SNOW and a milestone for Cam :). Warning. I may mention of that green and red holiday coming up. and it isn't December yet. :). Early November equals really early sunsets now. And with it being dark so early, we can't really play outside like we used to after dinner. Taylor LOVES her Rudolph and Clarice stuffed animals. :). Taylor was very eager to help decorate it. :). The girls were pretty...

Lots of family gatherings and celebrations are coming up over the next few days, so I want to make sure to catch up on all "pre-Christmas" pictures!

The girls LOVED hanging out by this tunnel, and it took some bribing to get them to want to leave. :). Holiday season mo...

Diplofam: Love at First Sight

http://diplofam.blogspot.com/2014/11/love-at-first-sight.html

Love at First Sight. Almost one year ago I fell in love with a sweet little face. Her picture was on a Chinese adoption advocacy site on Facebook. Here are the words that accompanied her photo:. On that day last December I left the following comment:. And that began our Journey to DouDou. Dou Dou is 3 years old, turning 4 in February. Pearl says 'Dou Dou' when we point to her picture but honestly, she has no idea what is coming. It will be a big adjustment that we are already praying about. Friends and F...
