Movie Recommendation:?? Martian Child
Have you seen it??? It is wonderful!?? Jim and I watched it this weekend and we both loved it.?? It stars John and Joan Cussak – I love it when they do films together.?? John is a sci fi writer who is widowed.?? He decides to adopt a young boy.?? The boy, Dennis, believes he arrived on earth via Mars.?? This movie is not a comedy though the title makes it sound that way.?? It is a tear jerker!?? The adoption thread is precious of course but more than that, it is a beautiful story about learning to love without condition.?? If you have been waiting for a good movie to come out, go rent this one!
??
Needed at least one picture in mama’s hands.?? The photographer never seems to make it into the pictures LOL.?? I need to remember to ask Jim to help me with this more often.??
“Are you almost done yet guys??? This is getting boring!”?? – I love this irritated expression of hers.
Almost a smile.?? She did smile for real at Daddy tonight – while wide awake!
??
Idol Alert:?? There is NO WAY and NO CHANCE that ANYONE will be able to beat David Archuletta.?? No possible way.?? First and only teenage I have wanted to adopt!?? He also stole my heart because he looks just like what I think my nephew Noah will look like in 11 years – and all the family agrees.?? It is wild how much Noah looks like David.?? (I think some of the other guys are great too.?? I really like Michael, David Cook and Jason Castro as well.?? The girls aren’t so hot for me but I do like Carly).

Doni, I was just going to email you about the preemie formula — sometimes procrastination works 😉 We had a terribly busy week…I hope her new formula works out better than the 22 calorie stuff!
She melts my heart! I can’t get enough of the pictures and stories. Thanks for sharing!
Love,
Angela
Doni, I’m lovin’ the pictures of Tori! Also, Carter will be very pleased that you’re a Carly fan. My mom has promised to take him to meet her when she eventually returns to San Diego!

SO glad you got mama hands in there! smart move.
this is a beautiful series indeed. well done. makes me want to go back to some of seth’s baby pics and dr. them up in ways i wasn’t skilled enough to do back then. 🙂 i think i will. 🙂 thanks for the inspiration.
beautiful girl… her irritated face is precious. 🙂 LOVE that she smiled AT DADDY. 😉 she really is filling out beautifull.
I LOVE these pictures of Tori! She really looks like you. And I agree with you about David A! He is our boy (me & Zandi’s:)). I just listen in awe everytime he sings. And he can play the piano too, so I even like him more!!!! Not really impressed with the girls this year either. Miss you guys.
I love these pictures, the best yet I think. She is so alert and her face tells a story of love. Thanks for sharing her little moments with all us.
P.S.- Landen finally can point to Ty’s picture and say his name, and when I explain that Ty has a new baby sister named Tori he is quick to say: ” No, not sister, Tanyurs a bother”. ( No, not a sister, Tanner’s a brother) I keep trying to explain to him that Tanner and Ty have a new baby sister name Tori. He then says; “Not Dori mom, Doni”. The kid cracks me up. Hey I am just happy after four years he can remember faces and is starting to remeber names outside his own home, he’ll get it sometime soon I’m sure. I even tried to point to Tori’s picture and asked him who it was, and all he could say was, ” a baby”.
Such precious pics!
We saw “Martian Child” a few weeks ago and LOVED it! Such a good movie!!!
Hope you’re all beginning to feel better over there…
I love the pictures!
I love the movie as well! We rented it 2 weeks ago.
