Juliana got to headed over to the Chinese Gardens with Jean this morning while I worked and she took some wonderful pictures of my precious girl! One amazing thing about having Jean when I need to work, do errands, etc. is that we know we are leaving her with someone she has come to love and we have come to trust wholeheartedly. Yesterday, on the other hand, was a bit more difficult since I had to leave Juliana with Jean at art class and she was not at all happy about it! She broke my heart with her cries for her mommy, but after a long hug, lots of kisses and "I love yous," I was able to leave (with a heavy heart though). To make myself feel better, I've begun to read the book, "Guilt-free Motherhood: Parenting with Godly Wisdom" (by Dr. Julianna Slattery - worth a read whether you're a working mom or not!) to learn how to cope with the emotions going on inside of me and find peace in God's guidance in my life.
So, this morning, Juliana got to enjoy some time at the gardens...
Posing with a statue...
She is just such a happy little girl!!! I thank my lucky stars every day that I was blessed with this amazing little girl... 
I think all of the pictures I've taken in the last year have turned her into a little model! Check out her poses... 
I simply love this picture the best of all of them. I guess it's just because she looks so at peace (and confident) sitting up on that rock...
That sweet smile could make any sadness or worries in life just disappear. It's breathtaking!
I really miss seeing my friends (and Juliana's friends), spending more time talking to family on skype. But at the end of the day, I still get to see that I have an amazing little girl to light up my life. Her big hugs and kisses are the best rewards any mom could ask for!
