Blog by the wayside...

It has happened again. Life with Lauryn gets busy and there is just no time to fit everything in. I am a bad blogger... But, I am back to update all that care on what's been going down.
Kyle is doing great. This is a very busy time of year for him. The busiest, and it's showing. I think I saw him a total of 8 waking hours last week. I am a total single mom this time of year. Although I hate it, I know that it's necessary. All part of the business and blah blah blah... I try my best to be supportive. Truthfully I do! However, I do find some days are much harder than others and believe you me, Kyle knows! LOL! Oh well!
Today was a great day! It was Lauryn's one year referral day. She is where she belongs. HOME. What a difference a year can make. My, how she has changed our lives. First, I can't get my head around the social commitments of a two year old. I can't imagine what it will be like when she is a teenager... goodness!
She has added so much joy to our lives it's just so hard to imagine our lives without her. It's like she has always been with us. In our hearts forever, home for just 8 short months. I really do believe in miracles and it's all her doing. Each day that smile lights my life. She is our dream come true and I am so looking forward to our new journey. She's a doll! Don't get me wrong there are days that life isn't all sunshine and lollipops. However, those days do come to an end. At the end of the day I am left with my best friend, my wonderful husband and we are holding the hands of a little girl who has our hearts. One lucky girl I am.
Me on the other hand have been looking for work. Booo... but the time has come to find something. I have a couple of very interesting leads, and look forward to what they might have to offer. Fingers crossed!
So, I am counting down the last couple of weeks of my parental leave. Kyle is counting down the days to his slow time where he will be finally able to spend most days with Lauryn. Thankfully Lauryn is signed up part time in the world's best nursery school. She loves it there and adores her teacher. She won't have to go all the way full time until September. They are very flexible with our schedule and have been a huge help. She will continue part time with some full time days. This will allow Kyle to meet his work commitments. Allowing me to concentrate on my new job where ever that may be. All the while Lauryn is blissfully unaware that anything has really changed.
Lauryn has a 6 week block of speech therapy coming up. Looking forward to that. She has made huge progress and I am sure that we will see lots more! She is one smart cookie!
We met with some of our FOI families for Chinese New Year. It was really great. 4 families and their children met at the CCC in Toronto. They had a lion dance, drummers, and dancers. They had some crafts for the kids to do. It was a really nice afternoon. After the CCC we went for a late lunch and had time to catch up and see what was going on with everyone. You don't realize what a connection you have until you see these families that you shared the most special time of your lives with. We are so lucky to have these families as part of our support. They are a true blessing. Hopefully we will get together again soon.
I think that's a wrap.
Happy one year referral day Lauryn! You are our dream come true. It just keeps getting better!
Keep Happy :)
