Today is the Day

.........that our paperwork has been "logged-in" to CCAA for exactly 12 months....1 year.....365 days....you get the idea. A VERY LONG TIME!! When we began the process we were told that we'd be seeing our new daughter's face in 12-14 months time. It hasn't worked out out that way and you can scroll through older posts to read my ramblings on why that is. I'm guessing (not very scientifically) that we have another 20 months to wait. And so as the New Year rolls 'round I'm keeping busy organizing, painting and working with the children in the daycare. Projects tend to keep my mind off of the calendar (and rumour queen). Here's to a busy year.....come on 2010!

Dear Lauren,
Sweet babe, it's taking a long time, I know. Claire, Evan and Alec talk about you every day. Evan insists we take you to Disneyworld after we get home from China. I explained that you might be a bit young for the rides but he insists that he'll hold your hand.
Claire and I have been busy painting a beautiful garden princess room that you will both share when you come home. I hope you like pink!! We are also picking out a pretty chandelier that will look great and lots of other "girly" touches! Claire can't wait to teach you everything!! Alec is also excited (maybe not about the length of the plane ride) but to see everything in your beautiful country. We were looking at pictures of the Great Wall the other day and the kids can't wait to climb it!
You are in my heart and thoughts every day.
Love,
Mama
